Though under contract for the 2025 season, there’s no guarantee WR George Pickens is on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ roster come next season. In a list naming 15 offseason trade candidates, Pro Football Focus’ Bradley Locker included Pickens as a potential player on the move. For reasons largely related beyond his football talent.
“Pickens is entering a contract year in 2025, and he’ll undoubtedly seek a compensatory payday before going into next season. The question is whether or not the Steelers want to entrust him with that and commit to him long-term,” Locker wrote.
As he noted, Pickens is entering a contract year and the first one in which he’s eligible to receive a long-term extension.
