The Dallas Cowboys made a splash trade this off-season when they acquired star wide receiver George Pickens from the Pittsburgh Steelers. The move significantly upgraded their passing game and took some attention off CeeDee Lamb.
However, Pickens had something to say about his former team that shocked a lot of fans.
“They Gonna Let Them N—- Go” Cowboys’ George Pickens Destroys Steelers Franchise After Trade
After being traded from the Pittsburgh Steelers to the Dallas Cowboys for NFL Draft picks in 2026 and 2027, George Pickens appears to have a chip on his shoulder:
Pickens’ first conference call with the Dallas media went well, with Pickens keeping the focus on his future with the Cowboys and winning games, rather than reflecting on his time with the Steelers and questions about his maturity.
However, on social media, an Instagram comment that allegedly was sent by Pickens and then quickly deleted may tell another story.
The alleged comment was screenshotted and shared on social media from several accounts that claims Pickens was calling out the Steelers for being the “cheapest organization” in the NFL.
The comment in question was reportedly made in response to a post about the Steelers’ trade on Prospect Media.
“They the cheapest organization,” Pickens allegedly wrote as a reply on the ‘Gram. “Ain’t no stacking year after year they gone let them n—- go too soon as it’s time lmaoo.”
The comment was made under a video of Prospect Media’s Payton Wilson and Beanie Bishop discussing the trade, per Steeler Nation.
