The Pittsburgh Steelers may be cautious about George Pickens's next deal.
PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers are trying to bring in another superstar wide receiver, according to multiple reports. But with names likeand Courtland Sutton still not 100% available for a trade, the team is banking on George Pickens to lead the way this season.
Entering his third year in the NFL, Pickens gets a new veteran quarterback in Russell Wilson, and a new play-caller in Arthur Smith. The expectations are high for his 2024 campaign, and already, there's talk of his next contract with the Steelers. But what if they aren't certain just yet?the team's assumed outlook on Pickens.
"I'd argue the Steelers still don't know if they should sign Pickens to a second contract. Based on his 2023 season I think that's a smart approach on their part," Fittipaldo answered when asked why the team would trade for Brandon Aiyuk if they have to pay Pickens. "There is more to being a No. 1 WR than making a couple of acrobatic catches and the occasional long TD catch. But I do agree with you on the trade part of this.
Pickens added his first 1,000-yard season to his resume last year, finishing with 1,140 yards and five touchdowns. He had five 100-yard games during the seasons, including. 195-yard performance with two touchdowns against the Cincinnati Bengals. If the Steelers aren't certain on Pickens being their long-term No.1 receiver, they'll need to add a big-name somewhat soon. Roman Wilson, a third-round rookie, appears to be in their future plans, but needs time to develop before becoming a starter. Calvin Austin, Van Jefferson and others like Scotty Miller and Quez Watkins are not viewed as WR1's.Noah is the Publisher for All Steelers, Inside the Panthers and Inside the Penguins , and is the host of All Steelers Talk .
