More Pickens News

Its one step forward one step back for the Steelers. Why can’t they sit this guy down and explain to him the opportunity in front of him? It's so frustrating. If we have to trade him now we lose all the leverage and we will not get adequate compensation and we will basically be back to where we were before Metcalf - a #1 wr and a bunch of #3’s.

The Steelers have no intention of trading GP

 

1. Nothing in there, except speculation
2. This was BEFORE the draft.
.... therefore this is click bait

Good grief, some of y'all let the media control you.

 

It's not surprising to me.If a team, whether the Steelers or another team, gives him a $30 million per year contract, they'll probably regret it because Pickens is too much of a headache for a team.


And I don't think his trade value is high for two reasons.... First, despite his talent, he was drafted only in the middle of the second round and secondly the WRs that the Steelers have traded in the last 10-15 years have all been a disaster at some point for their new team, mainly because of their bad attitudes, like Holmes, Bryant, AB, Claypool, and Johnson. So NFL teams know the history of our receivers.

Oh she missed it. She wants the old drama thread.

 

ross mccorkle. who the heck is ross mccorkle and who gave him a computer to use. absolutely nothing new there. when TJ wanted to not practice and stand on the sidelines during practice nothing was said. GP does it and he needs traded. geezzz i can't wait until the season starts.

 

in 2026 we have 28 players under contract. 113 mil of cap. 2027 we have 9 players under contract and about 232 mil. by then we probably will have traded for and earned 30 comp picks in the 7th and 1 first rounder for trading pickens, TJ, and cam.

 

The Steelers are actually looking to extend George

“I had a really solid exit meeting with GP, and I can tell you that he has a desire to be great,” Khan said. “He has a desire to be great here. We have a desire for him to be great and to be great here, with respect to the contract. We won’t discuss that publicly and usually those things are addressed at a later date.”

 

Kahn indicated a contract extension was in the plans but that was prior to the Metcalf trade

But he has repeated his desire to see both GP and Metcalf on the field together this year

Yep that was all redraft. This is a post draft article. IF it was a legitimate concern you would think they would have drafted a WR in the draft. I don’t want to be in the same situation we were last year at WR.

 

Technically, they could be viewing Wilson as the potential Z opposite Metcalf. They compliment each other better.

But that works the same if they keep Pickens this year and see how Wilson progresses this year before Pickens would possibly depart in FA.

There's a lot of moving parts to these decisions, on top of whatever may be being discussed behind closed doors.

 

franchise tag? they have to have some money to bring in billy kilmer next year.

 

Anyone else have problems with the depot site ? My laptop always freezes up !!!Been that way for years and it's the only site I have issues with. I have almost stopped going there.

 

There is always the option of saying nothing if you don’t believe what you are saying

 

Then start acting like one.

 

I like the Depot, but they'll run one article saying that Pickens wants to stay in Pittsburgh and they're working towards an extension, than an hour later they'll run an article saying Pickens is not long for this world. Just quoting different "insiders".

 

Okay, Lash LaRue, if he promises to wear a cowboy hat and a pair of spurs when posting will that suffice?

Ease up a little. Jeh said the Grumpy Old Men's club is currently full.
