Former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Plaxico Burress believes the Steelers got worse with the George Pickens trade, and that Pickens is a better player than DK Metcalf. Burress broke down both of the top receivers’ games and says that when he is locked in, Pickens is by far the better player than Metcalf.

When the Pittsburgh Steelers sent wide receiver George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys, some fans wondered why the team would trade such a talented young player in the prime of his career. Veteran defensive tackle Cam Heyward is telling those fans to relax based on the Steelers' recent history at that position.

Pickens is the most recent of a common trend in Pittsburgh where the organization parts ways with young receivers at the end of their rookie deals rather than extending their contracts.
