The George Pickens trade almost never happened because the Dallas Cowboys were in talks with the Baltimore Ravens to land wide receiver Rashod Bateman.

Recently acquired Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens said that he's "not really thinking about contract talks."

Khan specifically mentioned that he feels good about having DK Metcalf (who was acquired via trade earlier this offseason in a move that seemingly heralded Pickens' departure), Calvin Austin III and Roman Wilson, via the team's official website .
