In 2024, Pickens played 14 games and led the Steelers with 900 receiving yards on 59 catches while adding three touchdowns. The 24-year-old had recorded 1,140 yards and five touchdowns in 2023, his lone season eclipsing the 1,000-yard mark.

Multiple teams have reportedly discussed Pittsburgh Steelers star wide receiver George Pickens in trade talks as the NFL draft approaches.

Steelers general manager Omar Khan was asked Tuesday if the team’s receiver situation, possible interest in moving back into the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft and Pickens’ contract could yield a trade.
