Even if the Pittsburgh Steelers hang onto WR George Pickens and even if Pickens does and says all the right things in 2025, Mike Florio is warning the Steelers about giving him a long-term deal. Believe people when they first show who they are is essentially his message to the team about throwing money at Pickens no matter what happens over the next 12 months.
Reacting to Art Rooney’s comments about Pickens’ future, Florio thinks Pittsburgh must tread carefully.
“If you make him prove himself this year and then you pay him, does he revert?” Florio told co-host Chris Simms on Wednesday’s Pro Football Talk.
