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

Lamb will still face pressure on game days, but with Pickens on board, and if the Cowboys use KaVontae Turpin more on offense, things should get a little easier. Rookie head coach Brian Schottenheimer, who will call the offensive plays, can use all the weapons necessary in Year 1.
