The Steelers have been receiving calls about the availability of WR George Pickens, per sources. Pittsburgh is open to conversations as it navigates Friday night without a second-round pick (traded for DK Metcalf). pic.twitter.com/BZa9ubyd4z — Dianna Russini (@DMRussini) April 25, 2025 He is a bit of a headcase, but the guy is talented and would give the Jets a nice 1/2 punch at WR paired with Wilson
He’s nowhere near worth the trouble. I’d almost prefer a guy getting in trouble off the field than pouting like a whiney bitch when a QB overthrows him. I know someone who coached him at Georgia. Said he’s dumber than a pile of rocks too.
That means he'd probably be cheap as far as compensation goes. I think Pickens is decent, but there are some character questions apparently. This would likely be just a one year rental, unless the Jets really want a repeat of the Reddick situation.
Wasn't he throwing tantrums on the sideline with Fields as his QB last season? Probably not a good idea to run it back.
I think PIT injects their late round receivers with some serum that makes them great players for a short term and then go mentally insane.
For only a 3rd round pick he is worth it, clinically insane or not. I wish we pulled that move instead of the Cowgirls
I dunno, these guys don’t have great track records post PIT. I wouldn’t expect the Jets to end that curse. Even Holmes eventually blew up in our face.
PFT says now that Pittsburgh traded Pickens they might be interested in trading for Allen Lazard please God let it be true what a downgrade Pickens to Lazard haha
Not sure why they swapped Pickens and a 2nd for DK, a 3rd and a massive contract extension. Metcalf is a physical beast but he only runs a couple of deep routes down the field or he’s useless and gets a lot of personal fouls, OPIs along with his own sideline emotional blow ups. I wouldn’t want either in my locker room/fucking with my quarterbacks field reads forcing the ball so they don’t have to deal with a pissy receiver.
