Steelers GM opens up about George Pickens trade to Cowboys: ‘Fresh start for both sides was the best thing’

Earlier this week, the Pittsburgh Steelers sent a wide receptacle George Pickens to Dallas Cowboys in exchange for the third-by draft pick and swap on 3 reads. And it was after three years to run where pickens was sometimes rich, but also in the times of frustrating the steelers. General Manager Omar Khan felt it would be simply a time on both sides of the part.

“We had three years with George. We had some exciting times,” Khan said Way Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. “New Starting for both sides of the best.”

The deal comes to enjoyment after In 2025 NFL Draft It was somewhat surprise, because typically teams like to trade players before draft, as they can use the goods to replace them, if you need to come before the time. He said the Khan that’s just a function of offers steelers are getting for picking and when they came in.

“We had some people to inquire into the draft. There is no sense,” he said. “Cowboy stretched out the hand and the purpose of something for us to think about.”

A deal appears that the leaves of the steelers as thin in the recipient room that they are last year, with a picking was pretty much only reliable or dangerous weapon. But Khan does not see it as a way.

“We don’t have this happened if you don’t feel good about the recipient’s position,” he said: the way of the enemy.

Khan specially of which it feels good about having DK METCALF (which acquired by the interaction before these offseason in the move is seen as the Pickens’ Departure), Calvin Austin 3 and Roman Wilson The team’s makeup.

Metcalf, events, is a good player and note quantity. He’s been highly fruitful by their speed with Seahawks and often was subject to defensive attention defenses to pay a No. 1 Wideut. But he’s still always had a silent lockett on the side itself, and in the years he’s had Jaxon Smith-Njigba is just well. Now that will be an obvious-cut No. 1 The opposing defenses will likely pay it even more attention than usual.

The Steelers have confidence in Austin and Wilson, but Austin is just 53 catching for 728 yards and 5 touchdowns in two seasons with Wilson only played five snaps with injury-played rookie year. They are betting as significantly in the internal development here.

The course steelers don’t know who throwing the players ball. There are a lot of unknowns in Pittsburgh passing the game, and that would be likely to be true, whether they are kept onto picking or not.
