The Pittsburgh Steelers have experienced an eventful offseason leading up to this point. This period has been characterized by both notable departures of familiar faces, and the arrival of key new additions to the roster.

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.

APRIL 25: As the team did not draft a quarterback at No. 21 overall, it enters Day 2 with a glaring need and no second-round pick. As the Steelers attempt to navigate this issue, The Athletic’s Dianna Russini confirms the team is open to trading Pickens. Calls continue to come in for the talented wideout, whose contract-year salary is just $3.66MM.
