Rather than trade George Pickens, the Steelers traded for DK Metcalf to add to the receiver room. While it’s still possible that they move him, indications are they don’t intend to do so. Entering the final year of his rookie contract, he has a pivotal season ahead of him. He still has to prove his full potential on the field, but must also show growth off of it.
Despite public concerns about his antics, the Steelers have stood by him. While they won’t shy away from calling out some of his immaturity, they have consistently supported him and his process.
