How the Steelers’ QB Decision Could Impact George Pickens’ Future
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter


George Pickens’ journey with the Pittsburgh Steelers seems closely tied to what they decide to do with their quarterback position. Steelers GM Omar Khan shared some thoughts this past week that, while not directly about Pickens, give us insight into how their quarterback choice will influence other key positions, especially wide receiver.

It’s clear that having the right quarterback can make or break a wide receiver’s future with a team, particularly in Pickens’ case. This offseason, there’s been plenty of chatter about his role with the Steelers. Some fans suggest he should be traded, though few expect the team to offer him an extension.

But suppose the Steelers find a quarterback who can really elevate their passing game. Would Pickens then be more likely to stay in Pittsburgh with a nice contract extension? Conversely, what conditions might lead them to consider parting ways?

Consider a scenario where the Steelers decide to re-sign Justin Fields, emphasizing his dynamic play style. Would this push them toward considering trade offers for Pickens? His history shows he doesn’t like being left out of the action, and a more run-focused strategy with Fields could mean fewer targets for him.

The numbers back this up. During the first half of the season with Fields, Pickens was targeted 44 times. Switch to the second half with Russell Wilson, and that number barely changed—with 46 targets—but the outcomes did. Wilson set Pickens on a path for an impressive 82 catches, 1,380 yards, and 9 touchdowns on a full-year basis. However, Fields’ projected stats for Pickens were a lesser, albeit still decent, 74 catches for 1,029 yards—and curiously, no touchdowns. Though let’s be real, he probably would’ve snagged one in the long run.

All signs point to a satisfied Pickens being both active and productive on the field, all while contributing to the team’s wins. But there’s a question looming—would he find contentment in a successful team where he isn’t a primary target?

As the Steelers wrap up their 2024 season, another brief postseason under Head Coach Mike Tomlin again highlights the urgency of their quarterback conundrum. The team stuttered offensively and defensively, reflected in their stark 21-0 deficit by halftime during the playoffs.

Sound familiar? Last year’s main drama centered on the quarterback, and it’s no different this time. Will they stick with Russell Wilson or Justin Fields, or is there another quarterback they’re eyeing? And, of course, what becomes of Pickens? Extend his contract, trade him away, or let him see through his rookie deal?

The season began promisingly for the Steelers—an impressive 10-3 start and whispers of Tomlin as Coach of the Year. Yet, déjà vu sets in with a late-season stumble, topped off with another brief playoff appearance. That’s Steelers football for you—exciting, frustrating, and a season finale nobody wanted but saw coming.
