Oh - he will get paid well during his UFA season. No doubt.
If you deny that - you don’t seem to understand how few great receivers are out there
No-shows Tonight

lol. Yeah he’s sooooooo talented that no one else would want him. Consistently of logic is not soufys strong point
If Pickens wants to holdout and commit career suicide, then let him. College Football is producing quality WRs each year. Pickens might have special talent but he is replaceable.
Reread the actual words I posted
Let him hold out. It would kill his career and lower his contact value as a UFA
Coaches get paid plenty of money for a reason
Not when he’s UFA the following season .
Holy shit - do you have comprehension issues ?
Not sure you’ve noticed but he’s not the sharpest knife in the drawer. He thinks he’s one of the top recievers. He’s going to demand an extension going into next year
What about the play last week where he gave up on his route and didn't occupy the safety, which allowed him to pick one off in the end zone? George is good for one of those every few games.
A 900-yard season isn't worth all the other stuff.
Pickens is not elite. He is too inconsistent. Most coaches value consistency over talent. He will not get a big contract until he changes that perception, which tonight only help grow.
Good. Move him then. Can’t have a disrupter here who is inconsistent in his play and risk paying him good money.
But you said he’s uber talented. So why wouldn’t a team want to add this super talented receiver next year.
He can demand all he wants. If he lets that impact his play and results, then it will be the most expensive year of his life.
Steelers have the leverage not him.
Everybody on this offense is very replaceable.
The real decision is on Dan Moore
Try to sign him to a friendly contract extension, or sign another LT .
When his play sucks it hurts the Steelers to. It’s not like they have other guys to carry the load. But yeah if they want the offense to suck AGAIN then keep him on the payroll. Makes perfect sense to keep a malcontent cancer on the roster rather than getting what you can.
Hell they got a second round for Claypool and a decent DB for Johnson.
I assume you are just trolling here..Moore??
If he is on this team next year, it's more proof Kahn is not doing his job.
Question: if a team would pick him up for say a 3rd next year and he did get paid, couldn't they just get a compensatory pick right back for him? Win/win for all involved. We basically get our compensatory pick a year early just to get him our of here, and whomever trades for him just nets to something close to zero with draft picks, in addition to getting his services for a year.
What is the risk ?
He’s on his rookie contract
You don’t think he was well worth his $1.3m this season?
lol. Logic is not your strong suit. No comprehension issues here. If they clown is as talented as you claim there’s a team out there who would be willing to get him for a 2’nd or 3rd pick and sign him before they have to enter a bidding war to get him. Someone said there are not that many receivers as Talented as Pickens. So which is it. The dudes a bum or he’s one of the better receivers in the league where there are not that many
They have a good WR who only costs $1.3mil , so they can afford a tee Higgins type FA.
Then they let Pickens walk the next season as UFA , or they have the chance to extend him and pay him WR2 money
Just to reread my posts a few times .
I’m tired of repeating myself for half wits
Moore isn’t good -
But he could be a quality depth player if the price is right .
I mean I assume they want either Jones or the rookie on IR to take that spot -
But they will need some veterans on the roster at tackle
Everything is a value vs cost balance .
LOL. Classic lib. Runs away when someone calls out his bullshit.
Pickens is not a pressing problem for the Steelers. If he wants to sulk, then it hurts him more than the Steelers.
Kahn should not spend one minute on this problem until he has solved the problems at QB, LT/RT, CB, and drafting the next Casey Hampton type.
If you want to do addition by subtraction, then please make sure that Connor Heyward, Jefferson, Patterson, and even Muth are cut/traded before you do anything to Pickens.
Who’s running?
You keep repeating the same “question “ a dozen times , which ive answered .
Just because a jackass is braying all night doesn’t mean I need to join him
Backup lineman should be able to play more than one position, which Moore cannot.
Steelers have not solved the line issue despite the picks and free agent signings. You cannot be a power running team with the guards and tackles we have.
N
or…what for it…they trade that troubled receiver, get a draft pick who will also be on a rookie deal with more years of control and will be a net positive because he won’t have all the baggage that cancels out the good things he does.
There’s no doubt one of the major problems on this team is they have perhaps the worst set of skill positions in the league. Go ahead and keep the head case. But without a quality WR you’ll see more of the same on offense.
But yeah this team has lots of holes for sure including the DC and OL coach I just think the problems on offense are a bigger priority than defense. The defense was good enough to win the division even though it’s over rated
They’ve managed the qb position for sure as well
Claypool was traded with 2 years left on his rookie contact
Dionte was traded , because we ate his contract, with $5.88m in dead cap space
We then got the CB for a 1 year rental for $6mil this season
Not exactly the big wins or analogous situation
Steelers got all the value out of Pickens on his rookie contract they could have hoped for
😂🤣😂
Wonder if Gerry Dulac will note that gem and the QB who lead them to two such games in the PG?
Ah resorting to personal insults is always a sign someone has lost the argument. Another souf tactic when he’s lost the argument
True because the other GMs realize the value of hot garbage. The Steelers gain by not having them. I have to believe even random drafting would get better talent.
Why do they need to trade him to draft a wr?
They did that last draft in the 3rd- he’s been on IR .
Why do you want to make life easier for coaches you dislike ?!?
You know what? I’ve changed my thoughts on this. Souf convinced me. George is awesome. He’s uber talented, works his tail off, is a fabulous teammate, runs his routes hard and should get paid this summer 30 million dollars. He’s the bestest ever. When he gets paid, his production will follow and his attitude will be even better than it is right now, if that’s even possible. Steelers should be thrilled to have him wear the black and gold for the next 5-6 years.
Let me repeat for the 8th time
What trade value does a WR have on his last year of rookie contract who will then be UFA after ?
Hint -
The Steelers essentially gave up a 6th round pick for a qb on an expiring rookie deal .
does a qb have more or less value grade wise than a WR ?!?
