Despite Pittsburgh Steelers GM Omar Khan putting a stop to the emotional rollercoaster that was the George Pickens trade rumors, a former NFL general manager has reportedly restarted the ride.Andrew Fillipponi, host of 93.7 The Fan and frequent source of behind-the-scenes Steelers buzz, posted on social media that a former GM claims Pittsburgh is "open for business" when it comes to trading Pickens—as proven, he suggests, by the team's pre-draft visit with Matthew Golden on Thursday.
This former NFL GM remains unnamed, and the rumor should be taken with a grain of salt, but it aligns with Steelers insider Gerry Dulac’s stance that Pickens will likely be traded in 2025.Khan previously shut down rumors of Pickens being on the trade block following the Steelers’ acquisition of DK Metcalf—but was that simply a ploy to buy more time while seeking potential trade suitors?Only time will tell, but everyone from fans, analysts, and insiders to former players like Ben Roethlisberger has taken a side on whether Pickens’ days in the Steel City are numbered.Former NFL GM: "The Steelers are open for business on George Pickens.
That's why they brought in [Golden] for a visit." pic.twitter.
