In 2024, aside from George Pickens, the Pittsburgh Steelers didn’t have much at the wide receiver position. It didn’t help that Pickens had some frustrating moments himself. Pittsburgh quickly rectified their problems at the position this offseason, trading a second-round pick for DK Metcalf while handing him a large contract extension in the process.
Meanwhile, the Steelers haven’t shown the same interest in Pickens, who’s heading into the final year of his rookie contract. That’s led some to wonder whether Pittsburgh would consider trading Pickens, especially with the draft looming just less than two weeks away. KDKA’s Rich Walsh spoke to Jason Mackey on the Post-Gazette Sports Podcast, and argued against trading Pickens.
