As of now, the Pittsburgh Steelers don’t have a second-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. They also have a talented receiver in George Pickens, who’s heading into the final year of his rookie contract. Naturally, the idea of trading Pickens to recoup some draft capital will be a hot topic as we inch toward the draft on Thursday.
Giving Pickens a contract extension doesn’t feel like the most likely scenario. Yet, it’s not something Steelers insider Brooke Pryor is ready to rule out.
“The closer we get to the draft, the more likely it continues to be that they [Steelers] work out an extension with George Pickens, or that’s the route that they take,” Pryor said Monday on 93.
