Steelers trade for DK

I am, but at the same time, do you cut bait before you have their replacement, or an idea of one? In Patterson's case, he's realistically the only RB rostered at the moment.

I hear that arguement but it doesn't make me feel any better that they will replace these guys who have very little to no value to the team.

The more I thought about this last night I can’t help but believe Pickens is on the trade block. They sent a clear message to George that you aren’t our guy. They are NOT paying both George and Metcalf big money. I think they’ve had enough of Pickens attitude and immaturity and are ready to move on.
If they can get a first or even a second you have to move on and draft your number two WR.
They may even be close to having a trade partner already for Pickens. We’ll see!

They might even half to settle for a 3rd pick for Pickens. I hope I’m wrong

The whole league knows the Steelers won’t be resigning him and knows of his character issues. It sucks because his value should be a 2nd round pick at minimum.

Pickens has to go this offseason tho, he will be a cancer all next year and probably a training camp holdout going into his last year on his rookie deal

You are going to be very surprised then next year. I'll tell you that for free. He's Pickass' muscular older brother. And he absolutely tries when he feels like it.

He demands targets more than Pickens does
His hands aren’t close to Pickens

But other than that he’s a lot of the things everyone gets on Pickens for

This could get real interesting

Why would they trade him for a 3rd when they just spent a 2nd on lesser talent. If they want a 3rd for GP ya simply let his final cheap year play out and take the comp pick

Because with two of them it's going to have more drama then Real Housewives of Pittsburgh unreality show.

You only can hope multiple teams will be interested in him. And that they drive the cost for him up.

In my opinion Pickens will be way worse this year regarding attitude playing out the last year of his contract without an extension. He will probably hold out of training camp. He will get less targets this year with DK here and Tomlins insistence on emphasizing the run-he will be a cancer.

Might as well trade him and use the pick they get on a WR II who will compliment DKs style, be good locker room guy and not whine about targets, miss blocks, run the wrong route, etc

Maybe with both of them it will work out like when they give a hyperactive kid adderall?

I would stand firmly against trading away the better of the two when all last season we had the better guy of the two and needed more.

I’m pretty sure the plan is to go into the season with two receivers this year, even if one of them is GP lite to pair with GP

Then they have GP lite still rostered when GP leaves (if he is not tagged)

I'll forget that play where blocking was too much an effort for him when the play was right there in his lap. I've never been that lazy, even if backyard football, never. And it turns out that was the real GP.
