If wide receiver George Pickens puts on a brave face and doesn’t push the “trade me” button the way DK Metcalf did, which eventually brought him to Pittsburgh, he’s set to play out the final year of his rookie contract and leave the Steelers next offseason. And though that makes him a sensible trade candidate, Steeler’s beat writer Mark Kaboly explains why that’s unlikely to occur.
Joining 93.7 The Fan’s Austin Bechtold Saturday afternoon, Kaboly maintained that a scenario in which Pittsburgh extends Pickens, this offseason or next, is highly unlikely.
“I think there’s zero chance that happens,” Kaboly said of Pickens inking a long-term deal.
