Steelers wide receiver George Pickens has sparked speculation with a cryptic message directed at NFL legend Tom Brady. As trade rumors swirl around Pickens and Pittsburgh, his intriguing post has fans wondering if there’s a deeper meaning, or if he’s simply stirring the pot.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are waiting patiently for Aaron Rodgers to finally solve their dilemma at the quarterback position. However, another controversial issue could arise with George Pickens right at the start of free agency.
Pickens has not received a contract extension and is about to enter the final year of his rookie deal. Additionally, with the arrival of DK Metcalf, George is no longer the No. 1 wide receiver in Pittsburgh.
As a result, many experts believe the Steelers might explore a blockbuster trade in order to get something in return before his contract expires. If Pickens becomes available, the young star could be key to turning a team into a Super Bowl contender.
Will George Pickens get contract extension from Steelers?
At the moment, there are no signs that the Steelers will offer George Pickens a contract extension. The player will likely request something close to $30 million per year or more, considering how the market has reset with Ja’Marr Chase, CeeDee Lamb, and Tee Higgins.
Pickens has been heavily criticized in Pittsburgh for his controversial personality, but no one doubts that he is an extraordinary talent at the position, which has generated interest from several teams eager to learn the price they would have to pay.
Now, rumors have sparked after George Pickens posted a photo on his official Instagram account alongside Tom Brady, who is a minority owner of the Raiders. Las Vegas would be a very attractive destination in the new project with Pete Carroll and Geno Smith. However, no one knows why the wide receiver decided to post the photo.
