Cowboys Looked Into Acquiring Ravens WR Rashod Bateman Before Landing George Pickens
According to Jordan Schultz, the Cowboys looked into acquiring Ravens WR Rashod Bateman, but ultimately landed a deal for George Pickens after talks with Baltimore “didn’t go far.”
Dallas had an obvious need at receiver following the 2025 NFL Draft and picked up Pickens in exchange for a 2026 3rd-round pick and 2027 5th-round pick.
Bateman, 25, was a three-year starter at Minnesota and was a first-team All-Big Ten selection as a sophomore. He opted out after seven games in 2020.
The Ravens used the No. 27 overall pick in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft on Bateman. He signed a four-year, $12,599,412 contract with the Ravens that includes a $6,523,209 signing bonus.
He was entering the final year of his deal when the Ravens signed him to a three-year deal through 2026.
In 2024, Bateman appeared in all 17 games for the Ravens and recorded 45 receptions for 756 yards (16.8 YPC) and nine touchdowns.
