The Pittsburgh Steelers' decision to move on from former top wide receiver George Pickens was a complicated one, but fans had plenty of reasons to be fine with the move. Getting a third-round pick from the Dallas Cowboys with just one year left on his deal was good value, and Pickens had become a problem due to his on-field attitude and inconsistency.
He was well worth the second-round pick Pittsburgh used on him from a production standpoint, with 2,841 yards and 12 touchdowns in three seasons. The issue was his boom-or-bust playstyle and inconsistent effort level.
He had more games under 25 receiving yards (nine) than games with over 100 (eight).
