The Pittsburgh Steelers enter the 2025 NFL Draft as one of the most intriguing teams in the league. Will they draft Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders? Or perhaps they make a move for Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe. However, it is the trade of a star receiver that the Steelers could execute that people should pay attention to.

According to Fox NFL insider Jordan Schultz, the Steelers are actively shopping George Pickens and are listening to calls for the deep-threat receiver.

“George Pickens is one intriguing trade name to watch,” Schultz writes. “Pittsburgh has taken and made calls on the talented WR, who’s now extension-eligible. After paying Metcalf, league sources are skeptical the Steelers will pay two receivers.”

Schultz added that one AFC general manager named the Green Bay Packers as a team that is seriously interested.

“Pickens is more available than people think,” the GM said. “Green Bay’s been serious, and they’re not the only ones.”

As I’ve said since the Steelers acquired DK Metcalf – don’t expect Pickens to be around much longer. They are, for all intents and purposes, the same receiver. They chose to pay Metcalf, and will now all but certainly deal Pickens to another team. Whether that is this offseason or next, it also increases the likelihood that they will draft a wide receiver early on. Specifically, a receiver that can be a true X with a deep route tree and release package, while Metcalf operates more as the Y.
