Former Cowboys cornerback Jourdan Lewis is happy to be out of Dallas after Wednesday’s trade that sent George Pickens from Pittsburgh to America’s Team.

The Cowboys confirmed that they acquired Pickens from the Steelers along with a 2026 sixth-round draft pick, in exchange for a 2026 third-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick.

In reaction to the transaction, Jourdan Lewis — who signed with the Jaguars in free agency after spending his entire eight-year career in Dallas — reposted a report about the trade and wrote, “Confirmation, God wanted me in Jacksonville.”

Pickens and Lewis memorably generated headlines at the end of the Week 5 Cowboys-Steelers matchup this past season when Pickens grabbed Lewis by his face mask and pulled him toward the ground. An official and other players quickly got between them to keep the tensions from escalating. The Cowboys pulled out a 20-17 win.

“Pittsburgh needs a receiver,” Lewis said after the incident. “George Pickens is weak.”

Lewis and Pickens will not see each other immediately, as the Cowboys and Jaguars are not slated to meet in the 2025 regular season.

Pickens heads to Dallas after three seasons in Pittsburgh. Last season, he grabbed 59 receptions for 900 yards and three touchdowns. The 24-year-old made 63 catches for 1,140 yards and five touchdowns in a career-high season the year before.

In Lewis’ eight seasons with the Cowboys, he tallied 386 combined tackles and 9.5 sacks, with 10 interceptions. He signed a three-year, $30 million deal with Jacksonville in the offseason.

Top remaining NFL free agents at every defensive position: Several former All-Pros still on the open market

Getty Images Free agency season may have begun two months ago, but there are still plenty of notable players that are still available. With the 2025 NFL Draft now behind us, look for teams to start getting more aggressive when it comes to signing the best-available players in an effort to finalize their rosters heading into minicamp. Defensively, there are a lot of big name players who are still in search of their next NFL home. Specifically, there are several notable pass rushers and cornerbacks who could add value to a defense that could use some depth at those areas. Rest assured that several talented free agents will be signed before the start of training camp. Some, however, may have to wait until after camps have started after teams have started to suffer injuries. Given the drudgery that is training camp, don't […]

Dois tiros de cada lado: como foi tentativa de assalto a jogadores do Flamengo que vitimou Rossi. Gerson, Danilo e Wesley escaparam

A tentativa de assalto na chegada da delegação do Flamengo ao Rio após jogar pela Libertadores, na madrugada desta quinta-feira, colocou em perigo o goleiro Rossi e o meio-campo Gerson. O argentino teve o carro atingido por quatro tiros, dois de cada lado, mas fugiu em seguida com sua Land Rover blindada. Gerson, que também estava na cena, escapou sem sofrer disparos no carro. O zagueiro Danilo e o lateral-direito Wesley também voltaram de carro em momento próximo. Os dois primeiros jogadores estavam com motoristas e trafegavam pela Linha Amarela. No entroncamento com a Linha Vermelha, se depararam com os bandidos, mas não pararam os carros. Segundo relatos, os tiros vieram de pistolas, não de fuzis.
