Eagles Star Gets Very Honest About Cowboys' Big Trade

With George Pickens' arrival in Dallas, Cowboys Pro Bowl wideout CeeDee Lamb believes they now have two No. 1 receivers — and one of their NFC East rivals would agree.

Fresh off of a Super Bowl LIX championship, Eagles star A.J. Brown admitted that the Cowboys' addition of Pickens definitely isn't a move that teams can sleep on.

"I like that, I ain't gonna lie," Philly's WR1 said on his YouTube channel. "We're going to have to worry about [Dallas], for sure. We're going to have to worry about them. No, I like the trade. I do like the trade. I like the competition. I like George Pickens, I like CeeDee Lamb. And they collab."

"It's going to be exciting to watch," Brown added. "Because all that does is bring the best out of us. So, if we know how they coming, we are going to have to step it up." 

The Eagles and Cowboys' division now boasts some of the most elite receiver pairings in the NFL in Brown and DeVonta Smith, Lamb and Pickens and Washington's Deebo Samuel and Terry McLaurin.

And while the Giants don't have anyone behind Malik Nabers just yet, the former No. 6 pick has already established himself as a player to watch.

The Eagles took care of business against Dallas 2-0 with Dak Prescott going down last year. But Brown knows nothing comes easy against familiar foes.

"Regardless of the scoreboard or what the score says, those are one of the hardest games," he explained. "Every single time. Cowboys, Washington, those are dog fights. It may look easy, but it ain't easy."

Brown has recorded 261 catches, 4,031 yards and 25 touchdowns over the last three seasons since calling Philadelphia home.
