PITTSBURGH -- Days after trading star wide receiver George Pickens to the Cowboys for a 2026 third-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick, Steelers general manager Omar Khan defended the move, saying Friday it "made sense for everyone."
"We just kind of talked about it, lots of serious conversation, honest conversations," Khan said. "And we just felt that a fresh start for both sides was the right thing."
Pickens didn't request a trade, Khan said, adding that the deal came together "quickly."
"We had some people inquire during the draft, nothing that really made sense," he said.
