Pickens' future is seemingly always up in the air, but the offseason trade for fellow wideout DK Metcalf lit a whole new fire under that speculation. The 2022 first-round pick is entering the final year of his rookie; was the Metcalf move a sign that Pittsburgh doesn't intend to keep him around?

Pickens, Jakobi Meyers and Brock Bowers could complement each other wonderfully as a trio. The No. 68 overall pick and 2023 third-rounder Tre Tucker would have a good chance at getting this done, if the Raiders don't go wideout in Round 1.

The trade rumors around the 2025 NFL Draft never end! Despite Steelers GM Omar Khan’s comments about wanting to keep both George Pickens and DK Metcalf for the 2025 season, one insider has claimed the opposite is taking place behind the scenes.
