The Steelers’ decision to trade George Pickens and their return compensation has divided opinion, but not with the Talk of Fame network. Many argued that the fourth-year wide receiver is worth more than a third-round pick, but nobody offered more. The Steelers accepted the Cowboys’ offer, and the Talk of Fame Network’s panel believes they won the trade.
The panel, consisting of prominent sportswriters like John McClain and Vito Stellino among other experts, concluded that the Steelers gained more than they lost, all things considered, despite Pickens’ talent. Only McClain dissented, declaring Pickens himself the winner of the trade, yet even he added, “for now”.
