Trade Again? Cowboys seen as potential suitors for $33 million TE who may be on market
Trade Again? Cowboys seen as potential suitors for $33 million TE who may be on market It seems like a lifetime ago, but Dallas Cowboys fans had a relentless infatuation with drafting TE Kyle Pitts. In the pandemic draft of 2021, there wasn't a more intriguing "can't miss" prospect than the 6-foot-6 tight end from Florida, whose insane athleticism was the polar opposite to what the team had at the position. Reports surfaced this week that the Falcons were receiving trade offers for Pitts, who like draft classmate Micah Parsons, is set to play on his fifth-year option in 2025. After a Pro Bowl rookie season in which he caught 68 passes for over 1,000 receiving yards, Pitts hasn't blossomed as many hoped. In fact he's regressed statistically, never topping 700 yards in any subsequent campaign. For those who think the issue is the Falcons offense, Pitts may represent a chance to unleash unrealized potential. In that vein, CBS Sports' Cody Benjamin identified several potential trade partners, and the team that's swung four different trades this offseason came up among possible suitors. Jerry Jones stayed quiet for much of the offseason, only to roar back to form with the George Pickens trade in May. If we're collecting malcontents to maximize Dak Prescott's chances of getting the 'Boys back in the dance under new head coach Brian Schottenheimer, then why not add Pitts as well? The Cowboys could use a more dynamic complement to holdover Jake Ferguson at tight end, and they've still got $30 million to spare. As a bonus, Micah Parsons' brother suggested this deal for Dallas not long ago. The wayback machine invokes memories of the Cowboys' organization allowing future Hall of Famer Jason Witten to un-retire for one last run, after sitting out 2018, to plod through 2019. Dalton Schultz replaced Witten as the starter the following year, playing fourth fiddle in the passing game behind Amari Cooper, Michael Gallup and CeeDee Lamb. Pitts was the elixir to that legacy-tarnishing image, an intriguing pass catcher who was thought to be the next great hero at the position and who would pair with Lamb to be the team's dynamic duo. Pitts never made it to Dallas' pick at No. 10, instead snatched up by the Atlanta Falcons at No. 4 while the Cowboys had to "settle" for Parsons. And now, five years later, it appears the Cowboys have a chance to land Pitts again, this time via trade. As the former No. 4 pick, Pitts has already earned just under $33 million in salary and is set to make $10.8 million in 2025 salary. The Cowboys currently have over $31 million in available cap space for the season. Also mentioned as potential suitors are the Jacksonville Jaguars and fellow NFC East rival the New York Giants. In a recent look at divisional position rankings, the Cowboys and Giants brought up the rear. Jake Ferguson had what some consider the worst statistical season in TE history, and the club has yet to realize a return on their second-round investment in Luke Schoonmaker from the 2023 draft class.

Cowboys Predicted To Vault Into Top-10 Offense With Pickens Move
Isn't it funny how one trade can tilt the whole outlook for a football team? The George Pickens trade for the Dallas Cowboys was seen as the final piece of the offensive puzzle for Brian Schottenheimer, with CeeDee Lamb now getting the help he so desperately needed. Advertisement But let's not forget that prior to the trade, not much was said about the Cowboys' offense being one of the better units in football. Does one move change that? For Bucky Brooks, it does, with the Cowboys now coming in at No. 8 in his top pass-catching duos in football. "The blockbuster trade that brought George Pickens from Pittsburgh to Dallas has thrust the Cowboys into the conversation as one of the most dangerous pass-catching groups heading into 2025, Brooks writes. "Moreover, Pickens' arrival will likely force opponents to utilize more two-deep coverages, leading to increased opportunities for TE Jake Ferguson to make plays between the hashes." George Pickens And CeeDee Lamb At AT&T StadiumBy Tony Fisher There wasn't much positive talk about Jake Ferguson, who was coming off a down year, now, all of a sudden, with Pickens arriving, there is positivity about what the "big biscuit" can do? Advertisement Funny how that works. The arrival of Pickens has seen the Cowboys' offense, led by Dak Prescott, go from a so-so unit to potentially a top offense in football. ... we say top-10. We know what Pickens can do on the field, and now defenses can't shift coverage to Lamb to take him away. Otherwise, defenders will be eaten alive by Pickens one-on-one. Conversely, it's the same for Lamb. If Pickens is doubled, CeeDee gets single coverage—that's nightmare fuel for a defensive back. One move has tipped the scales in Dallas' favor, and it's a move that many have been screaming at the franchise to make for months. Advertisement Now that it's done, the whole picture of the Cowboys' offense changes. Fancy that.
