The Steelers head coach answered questions about the George Pickens trade
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ trade of George Pickens made waves, as many Steelers fans believe Pittsburgh is right back in the same situation they were last year, only having one star-caliber wideout. And while the Steelers are expected to make at least one more addition at the position, general manager Omar Khan didn’t show his hand, saying he and the team are comfortable with the receivers they have. Khan also added that the trade was best for everyone involved.
“We had conversations internally,” Khan said. “We also had some conversations with George’s agent, Dave [Mulugheta] who I have a good relationship with. We discussed where things have been with George, where they are… this trade made sense for everyone.”
Head coach Mike Tomlin was asked about the trade on Saturday, to which he didn’t add much details or context, more or less echoing what Khan said.
“I’m not gonna add any color to it other than what Omar told you guys yesterday,” Tomlin said. “We thought it was best in time for all parties involved. We’re really just focused on the opportunity this weekend with the rookies.”

The Steelers are moving forward. Whether or not that will include adding another receiver is to be determined.
