Tomlin: Steelers Haven’t Had Contract Talks With George Pickens, ‘Certainly More Room For Growth’ From Him

It was certainly an interesting season for Pittsburgh Steelers WR George Pickens, who was the team’s most productive wide receiver when healthy but made headlines for a lot of the wrong reasons. He ripped the helmet off Dallas Cowboys CB Jourdan Lewis after a Week 5 loss, got into a scuffle with Cleveland Browns CB Greg Newsome II after a Week 12 loss, and was fined over $90,000 by the league in publicly announced fines for his actions on the field.

He also reportedly showed up late for the team’s Week 17 loss against the Kansas City Chiefs, and with Pickens set to be a free agent after the 2025 season, he’s due for an extension after this year.
