Insider Calls George Pickens Trade ‘Addition By Subtraction’ For Steelers

There is no getting around the fact that the Pittsburgh Steelers lost talent this morning when they traded George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys. But could they have taken a step towards restoring order to a chaotic situation on offense over the last few years?

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo thinks this is a classic case of addition by subtraction.

“The way I look at it, addition by subtraction. Yeah, you’re losing a talented receiver, but you’re a eliminating a big headache from your organization and your locker room as well,” he said via 93.
