When the Pittsburgh Steelers traded wide receiver George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys before the start of last season, many fans felt like the Steelers front office made a mistake and gave up on the uber-talented Pickens too soon. However, as the season went on and into the offseason, the old Pickens has shown back up despite a strong statistical season.
Since the season ended, the Cowboys franchise tagged Pickens, he refused to sign the tag and now according to reports and screenshots, has unfollowed the Cowboys on social media. Pickens has made it clear he wants a huge contract extension after catching 93 passes for 1,492 yards.

The Steelers passing offense was dreadful last season and it was easy to second guess the Steelers decision but this season the offense looks much more potent with the addition of veteran Michael Pittman Jr. and rookie Germie Bernard along with DK Metcalf.
