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.
