Pittsburgh Steelers beat writer Gerry Dulac is pushing back on the notion QB Aaron Rodgers had a hand in WR George Pickens being traded more than a month before officially signing with the team. During a Thursday chat for the Pittsburgh-Post Gazette, Dulac made clear those were two separate decisions.
“They always believed [Rodgers] would sign,” Dulac told one reader who asked. “But I don’t think one had anything to do with the other.”
The question stems from a recent ESPN article that mentioned why Pickens was dealt from Pittsburgh to the Dallas Cowboys.
