If you weren’t sure about the trading of George Pickens then perhaps the receiver’s own words will help.
Traded last week for two draft picks, the Pittsburgh Steelers parted ways with Pickens not because he couldn’t catch the ball. They moved on because he routinely missed meetings, refused to block at times and often gave as much effort as a rock holding a door open. Perhaps most importantly, the Steelers had zero intention of giving him a second contract so therefore trading him now was the best option.
Pickens spoke out today for the first time and it was about what I expected.
