NFL Rumors: Ravens & Cowboys Linked to Potential Blockbuster Deal


The Baltimore Ravens should be looking to add to their offense before the 2026 season is here. Their biggest need is a star wide receiver for quarterback Lamar Jackson. Because of this, the Ravens are now being linked to one of the biggest trade candidates in the NFL.

In a recent article for Bleacher Report, Kristopher Knox made a trade pitch that would have the Ravens acquire wide receiver George Pickens from the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for a 2026 first-round pick. 

Questions about Pickens' long-term future with the Cowboys have come up. If Dallas ends up making him available for trade, there is no question that the Ravens should make a serious push for him. They desperately need to improve at the wide receiver position, and bringing in a star like Pickens would certainly help them do just that. 

Pickens just completed his first season with the Cowboys after he spent his first three campaigns with the Pittsburgh Steelers. In 17 games with the Cowboys during the 2025 season, the 6-foot-3 wide receiver recorded nine touchdowns, 93 receptions, and 1,429 receiving yards. With numbers like these, he would be a major pickup for a Ravens team that needs a big boost on offense.

It will be interesting to see if the Ravens can swing a deal for Pickens, but the fit looks very good on paper.
