00:00Ever since the Steelers acquired DK Metcalf the trade rumors surrounding George Pickens have been hot
00:06But one man has stood in his corner all along and he just did again doubling down on Pickens future with the Pittsburgh Steelers
00:17Hey everyone, Rob Gregson of A to Z Sports Pittsburgh and today we're gonna discuss the recent comments from GM Omar Khan
00:25Discussing George Pickens at the NFL Combine
00:27He said that the team needed as many weapons as possible and while he wouldn't get into extension talks
00:33He viewed George Pickens as a part of the Steelers future
00:36Well, guess what?
00:37he doubled down on that at the annual league meetings here in Palm Beach where he said that
00:44they didn't acquire DK Metcalf to
00:47Subtract they want as many playmakers as possible. He named Calvin Austin. He named
00:53Last year's rookie Roman Wilson, and of course, he named George Pickens
00:57So there's a lot of talk a lot of hearsay about what is going to happen with George Pickens
01:02The truth is if he's on the roster
01:05Past the NFL draft. He's likely to be with the Steelers for the duration of the season
01:10Sure, maybe something comes up in training camp. You can never rule out a trade deadline scenario
01:15But you have to understand George Pickens is headed into the final year of his rookie contract and the extension talks in fairness
01:22To those who are skeptical of George Pickens future. They're non-existent right now
01:26so the most likely outcome is that George Pickens plays the
01:312025 season and then and only then the Steelers decide what to do with him next more than likely
01:37That's going to be to let him walk in free agency
01:39The Steelers they broke all historical tendencies when they paid DK Metcalf and traded such high draft capital for him
01:46to think that they're suddenly going to now pay to
01:51Premier wide receivers elite NFL money. That's a little rich even for the modern Pittsburgh Sears
01:56So while George Pickens future still remains in question
02:01It seems more and more likely that he will be on the team when week one in September rolls around
