Probably Owe Pickens an Apology

He seems to be one of only a few that give a sh!t about the game. MaHomes wasted his time dressing out in pads today, he didn’t break a sweat. This all sets up for a good Hard Knocks ending but this sh!t is bad. I think Fields will start next week, Wilson either drops the ball or throws it to the wrong team each week.

 

Pickens has leverage this offseason. Pittsburgh is in a lose lose situation with him. How so?!


Either Pittsburgh extends Pickens and the team looks for a WR 2 in either FA or the draft or the team doesn't extend Pickens and WR 1 becomes the number one priority on the team. Tee Higgins is going to demand WR 1 and getting into a bidding war isn't something the Steelers have done historically.

 

Did you see the 1st INT where Pickens stopped on the play, allowing the safety to move over an get the INT. Pickens still plays like one of the laziest players in the league. If the play is not all about Pickens, he really does not care what happens.

 

Cause it's all about the benjamins and that's it. More touches more catches better next contract, that's it and will always be it for a guy like this.

 

are they willing to give him the money he would command on the open market?

 

I would not extend or resign Pickens. Waaaay too much of a head case. We have to start vetting these WRs better, getting too many self-absorbed head-cases.

Now, in fairness, if I played for such an awful head coach and his clueless assistant buddies, I'd be a head case too.

I'd give anything to hear Rooney has fired the entire staff after our playoff blowout.
