The Pittsburgh Steelers have two, young promising wide receivers who were both taken by the franchise in the 2022 NFL Draft. Both George Pickens and Calvin Austin III are entering the fourth and final years of their rookie contracts,

The major reason the Steelers have decided not to seek a trade for Pickens at this point, according to team sources, is a lack of faith in their ability to both trade Pickens and upgrade the wide receivers group overall, in the face of a very slim free agent market and draft class that is thinner than most have been at the position lately.

Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Omar Khan says their desire to keep wide receiver George Pickens is mutual.

Whether it was for failing to become a top-tier player at the position or for generating more undesirable headlines than highlight-reel plays, Pittsburgh's second-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft has heard it all.

Bearing in mind the roster holes the Pittsburgh Steelers are tasked with filling this offseason, acquiring another top-end edge rusher shouldn't be a priority.

The Pittsburgh Steelers selected wide receiver George Pickens in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft. Regarded as one of the most talented wide receivers in that class, Pickens’ draft stock slipped due to concerns about his maturity.
