Heading into the 2025 NFL Draft, there were rumblings that the Pittsburgh Steelers may trade receiver George Pickens at some point during the draft. While a trade never happened, the Steelers reportedly did try to trade their young receiver but were unable to.

A post-draft report says the Cowboys discussed a trade for a veteran WR with an AFC North team — possibly George Pickens.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens could be on the move ahead of Day 2 of the 2025 NFL draft. Dianna Russini of The Athletic reported the Steelers have been "receiving calls" about Pickens and that the team is "open to conversations" on the fourth-year receiver.
