Cowherd: Steelers ‘Not Cheap,’ But Don’t ‘Spend Their Money Wisely’

While George Pickens was a headache sometimes, some are questioning if the Pittsburgh Steelers made a wise move by trading him. It seems like Pickens’ attitude was one of the reasons why he was dealt. However, the former second-round pick being in a contract year probably also contributed to the decision. The Steelers likely weren’t going to give Pickens the kind of money he was seeking. However, some fans are wondering if Pittsburgh is being too cheap. Colin Cowherd disagrees with that assessment, though.

“There’s a difference between being cheap and just having some financial realities that don’t play in your favor,” Cowherd said Monday on FS1’s The Herd.
