With both DK Metcalf and George Pickens now on the Pittsburgh Steelers, there are real concerns about redundancy with the two big, physical downfield receivers who win in contested-catch situations.
They’re also quite volatile emotionally, which has many concerned as well. All of it has led to plenty of speculation regarding a potential George Pickens trade this offseason.
After all, Pickens is entering the final year of his rookie contract, and the team doesn’t appear interested in giving him a new contract anytime soon. Therefore, the trade chatter makes some sense.
Though the Steelers appear poised to keep him for the 2025 season and take a shot at competing with both Metcalf and Pickens out wide, there might be some interest from teams around the league for Pickens’ services.
