A 6-time Pro Bowler and longtime Dallas Cowboys rival believes Dak Prescott should be the front-runner for the NFL MVP award after his hot start to the season.
The Dallas Cowboys have one of the best offenses in the NFL. Dallas ranks first in the league in total offense (406.6) and fourth in scoring offense (30.2). Quarterback Dak Prescott is second in passing yards (1,356) and tied for third in passing touchdowns (10). Meanwhile, George Pickens has 23 catches for 357 receiving yards and five touchdowns.
The Cowboys no doubt need a defensive upgrade, but trading first-rounders for the likes of Trey Hendrickson is just not happening.

When the Dallas Cowboys traded with the Pittsburgh Steelers for wide receiver George Pickens, many questioned the move. The Steelers have a long history of trading star wide receivers, only for them to flame out with their new teams.
