It came late in the offseason, and it was rather surprising considering the timing, but the Pittsburgh Steelers trading wide receiver George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys for a 2026 third-round pick, along with late-round pick swaps in 2027, is the best move the Steelers have made all offseason.
At least, that’s how The Athletic’s Mike Sando sees it.
In a piece for The Athletic Thursday morning, Sando chose the Pickens trade as his favorite Steelers move of the offseason, stating that Pittsburgh got some decent value out of the trade, which he considers a win, even if the move opened up hole offensively for the Black and Gold.
