Aaron Rodgers isn't the only hot-button topic currently surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers. While the Steelers continue to wait for the legendary quarterback to make up his mind, there have been some rumblings regarding the future of Pittsburgh wideout George Pickens following the team's recent trade for two-time Pro Bowl wideout DK Metcalf.

Trading away their diva-esque receiver would leave the Steelers in a similar position as 2024—without a WR2. However, with the 2025 NFL Draft just around the corner and several big-name free-agent WRs like Amari Cooper and Stefon Diggs on the market, don't be shocked if Pickens is traded sooner rather than later.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have long been known for developing elite wide receiver talent, but they’ve also shown a willingness to move on from star pass-catchers when the time is right (Antonio Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster come to mind).
