George Pickens Trade Request Rumor Updated By Steelers Insiders..
The drama surrounding George Pickens in Pittsburgh features another chapter from media gossip.
The media can’t quite wrap its collective head around how it’s going to happen.
But there seems to be an agreement.
It’s going to happen.
The drama surrounding George Pickens in Pittsburgh has been impossible to ignore. While his talent is undeniable, the lingering question remains: Is he a culture fit for the Steelers?
With DK Metcalf now in the picture, the chances of Pickens being moved have only increased.
Right?
The Steelers were already open to dealing Pickens last year, actively listening to trade offers before ultimately keeping him due to a lack of receiver depth. There was more talk of the same around draft time, when we know the Dallas Cowboys discussed the idea of trading for him.
What’s the latest?
Conflicting reports, of a sort.
From James Palmer:
“His time in Pittsburgh in a lot of people’s minds is limited, mine included … It has not gone well behind the scenes between George Pickens and the Steelers and everybody involved.”
From Gerry Dulac:
“I do not expect him to be here beyond this year. They will not give him a second contract. They have until November if they want to trade him …”
