    Pickens is only a #1 wr coz that’s all Steelers had. He would be a #2 on any other team.

    If the Steelers think Pickens is going to change or any other team for that matter they are in for one hell of a surprise. Now we have two WRs with anger issues. The Crash out brothers

    No sir… we got Metcalf, CA3, Roman Wilson… Friermuth and the giant Mt Washington and perhaps a wr in the draft.. I say bye Felecia

    I posted a video yesterday of this situation. Pickens was a headcase at Ga

    Pickens a big time WR… that is hilarious! Show me the numbers, please. Please!
    Oh, he don’t have a qb to throw him the ball? BS

    They need help for both lines in the draft. They need a running back in the draft. The last thing they need right now is to create another hole in the roster. Regarding the receivers, you listed Metcalf, a couple of guys they had last year, and a rookie who missed the 2024 season. They would have the same problem that crippled the offense all of 2024.

    Maybe it is worth it if they can get a second-round pick and sign a free agent. I'm just not sure how much Amari Cooper has left and he's probably the best still available.

    I
    m just saying Pickens isn’t worth it. Now, we have twins. We aren’t going anywhere with Pickens anyways. See if we can find someone dumb enough to give us a 2nd rd pick for him

    Brady and the Raiders are already in trouble for having Mathew Stafford over to his place in Montana, now Brady is talking to Pickens???

    Finny... Brady cost Miami draft picks, and now he is going to cost the Raiders some picks as well

    He has been stuck in a weak offense his entire career. They had no receiver opposite Pickens that defenses respected and he missed three games. All of that suppressed his numbers. He isn't an elite receiver, but he is a quality starter with some upside. He was the only viable starter the team had on the outside last season.

    My point is they would be left with Metcalf and not much else just like last year, I don't care about Pickens being a #1 or #2.

    Like I said earlier, see if you can find a team that would offer us a 2rd pick, but the league is well aware of Pickens mentality

    If they do have Metcalf and Pickens, the latter is No. 2.

    CA3 is good. Maybe the glass porcelain doll Roman can contribute some this season

    And neither one of them would be an outside WR both are slots WRs, we saw how the offense struggled last year without a real #2 WR.

    But… in all reality, if you are double or triple teaming one wr, someone else should be open?!:shrug:

    You need two legit threats at WR look at what happened when Pickens missed three games last season.

    Like I said, if I were a wr, I would be licking my chops if one of my teammates was getting double teamed.

    If he is still on the team when the season starts, he would be wise to take advantage of having Metcalf on the other side and ball out as best as he can so he can up his worth in FA next year.

    But Pickens and wise don't go well in the same sentence.

    A big dumb move unless he wants out .. He makes catches that are elite he seems to beat 1 on 1 coverage at will ,,,so why should he not take plays off if the Team is not willing to go to him early and often ? Is he a bit of a head case ? Of course he is but his adjustments and his body control at the point of the catch is of the elite level...

    Value wise nothing less than a 2nd. round pick IMO and thats if he wants out...
