Steelers open to trading George Pickens?

For now, the Pittsburgh Steelers have an imposing wide receiver duo that can dominate opponents. As George Pickens catches balls on one side, D.K. Metcalf could take advantage of mismatches on the other.

However, as ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter shared that the Steelers could make Pickens available for trade if a great offer persists. Without it, Pittsburgh isn’t actively seeking a trade for Pickens.

The former Georgia standout established solid numbers over his first three seasons, tallying 174 receptions for 2,841 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns. However, as talented as he is, he has been involved in some issues, including showing up late to practices. He also made comments on social media which are detrimental to team chemistry.

The Steelers have the 21st overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Any team looking to have another first round selection could strike a deal with them. As for now, all teams have their original picks in the first round. However, the draft board could shake up before or during the opening round.
