The move to trade fourth-year wide receiver George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys this offseason for a third-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft was a move that was deemed necessary by the Pittsburgh Steelers. They moved on from a young receiver that had been a real issue in the locker room and on the field, and gout out of potentially making a mistake with his next contract.
And yet, despite it being deemed a necessary move, one that simply had to happen because leaders in the locker room were reportedly done with him, it’s been hard to see the Georgia product dominating the NFL the way he is this season with the Cowboys.
