After the Pittsburgh Steelers traded WR George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys Wednesday morning, a huge void was created in the wide receiver corps. Pickens was expected to be WR2 in Pittsburgh behind DK Metcalf, who Pittsburgh acquired this offseason from the Seattle Seahawks, forming a formidable 1-2 punch at wideout. However, there was speculation that Pickens could be dealt this offseason prior to or during the 2025 NFL Draft as he was entering the final year of his rookie deal.
Behind Metcalf, Pittsburgh currently has Calvin Austin III, Roman Wilson, Robert Woods, Scotty Miller, and Ben Skowronek on the depth chart.
