Steelers Rumors: George Pickens Eyes Pittsburgh Exit With Subtle Message After Mike Tomlin Ended WR’s Extension Hope

Pittsburgh’s gridiron tale just added a twist sharper than a Terrible Towel wave. Imagine a receiver’s Instagram post sparking more buzz than a halftime show.

George Pickens tossed a cryptic photo into the digital deep, with Tom Brady. Cue the speculation sirens. Brady, now part-owner of the Raiders, stirred the pot like a cold brew at a tailgate. Is Pickens eyeing Vegas’ neon glow?

Monday’s reality hit harder than a linebacker blitz. Insider Mark Kaboly dropped a bombshell: “Zero chance” Pickens gets a Steelers extension after the blockbuster DK Metcalf trade. “You pay Metcalf [$30M per year]… this is almost a one-and-done$,”Kaboly\; stated,\; comparing\; Pittsburgh’s\; receiver\; room\; to\; a\; crowded\; Black\; Friday\; sale.$

Oh Boy: George Pickens posted a picture of him and the legendary Tom Brady on IG

$Metcalf’s\; \$132$ deal casts a shadow over Pickens’ future, leaving fans wondering if the young star’s days are numbered—like a fourth-quarter clock. However, Kaboly insists Pickens stays… for now.

“They think they can win now,” he said, channeling the Steelers’ win-now mantra sharper than a Franco Harris touchdown dive. But with no clear QB1 and Pickens chasing Tee Higgins-level cash ($28.75M), tensions simmer. The Metcalf-Pickens duo? Think fireworks on the Fourth—thrilling, but risky if one spark misfires.

Will Pickens vanish by the trade deadline like a halftime lead? Or will he channel his inner Hines Ward, grinding for glory in black and gold? One thing’s certain: In a league where loyalty fades faster than autumn leaves, Pittsburgh’s next move could rewrite their playbook.

This story is unfolding—stay locked in for the latest.
