Heading into the 2024 season, George Pickens was a Pittsburgh Steeler many fans hoped the team would build the offense around for the foreseeable future.
However, after a rocky relationship between the Steel City and Pickens became evident during the regular season—thanks to the receiver’s immature antics—it’s no secret that many are ready for the Steelers and Pickens to part ways.
Following the Wild-Card playoff loss to the Baltimore Ravens, reporters asked Pickens if he was optimistic about the offense moving forward.
Pickens had previously alluded to seeing growth from the year he was drafted in 2022 to now but ultimately expressed doubt about the Steelers’ offense, answering the question by stating, “Uhh, nah.”
Pickens has proven time and time again that his disdain for reporters—and the Steelers—continues to slip through the cracks that head coach Mike Tomlin repeatedly attempts to patch up. However, now is the time to pull the plug on the Pickens experiment.

It is understandable to be frustrated after the way this season ended, but failing to show any support for his offensive teammates leaves much to be desired in terms of his character.
