Former Bengals WR: 'George Pickens was always late, Steelers had enough of it'
While the newest Cowboys WR George Pickens turned heads for all the wrong reasons a few days ago — it isn't anything new to Pittsburgh. Pickens' on- and off-field immaturity was a conversational topic throughout the 2024 season — and it ultimately led to his Steel City exit. Long-time Steelers rival and former Bengals WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh recently addressed on his podcast Up on Game, alongside co-hosts LaVar Arrington and Plaxico Burress — and it's safe to say he isn't a fan of the former disgruntled Steeler. Advertisement Pickens' antics — specifically his consistent tardiness — are what Houshmandzadeh believes pushed Steelers HC Mike Tomlin past his breaking point: "Mike Tomlin is a coach that his players that kind of told the line and may step over it. He gives them a little leeway, he lets them be them, and then after a while, he's like, 'I can't deal with it anymore.' George Pickens had stepped over and crossed the line a bit too many times. And I know people that play with the Steelers. He'd be late for the team plane that would be flying out to away games. Multiple times, he'd be late to get on the team bus. And they just — they had enough of it." Houshmandzadeh hit the nail right on the head. The former Bengals WR knows a thing or two about what disrespecting the Steelers looks like — after all, he may be best known in the Steel City for his less-than ideal treatment of the Terrible Towel.

Peyton Manning Doesn't Hold Back About Bengals QB Joe Burrow
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals are looking to get back into contention in the AFC during the upcoming 2025 NFL season. Following a rough all-around 2024 campaign that saw the Bengals finish with a 9-8 record and miss the playoffs, Burrow and company want to win. They have a solid roster and were able to make two key moves by extending both Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. There are still questions about 2024 NFL sack leader Trey Hendrickson's future. That situation will need to get figured out and Cincinnati will need him on the field to live up to its full potential. After that, the Bengals should have a playoff caliber team. Joe Burrow #9 of the Cincinnati Bengals celebrates after beating the Denver Broncos 30-24 in overtime at Paycor Stadium on December 28, 2024 in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Read more: Buccaneers Star Speaks Out With Strong Shilo Sanders Take In 17 games, Burrow completed 70.6 percent of his pass attempts for 4,918 yards, 43 touchdowns, and just nine interceptions. He also picked up 201 yards and two more scores on the ground. Peyton Manning took some time to speak out about Burrow recently. He did not hold back his high opinion of the Cincinnati quarterback. "He's an incredible quarterback. He's just fun to watch play. He's exciting when the ball is in his hands," Manning said. "The game is never over. He's calm, he's collected, he doesn't sweat. Out there on the field, off the field ... he's very authentic." Burrow's personal success has been impressive, but he wants a Super Bowl. Manning also talked about that goal and revealed that he expects the 28-year-old quarterback to win a Super Bowl. "There are expectations that come with it, but Joe is well aware of those, and he can carry that burden and wants those expectations on his shoulders," he said. "And I know he fully expects, as I do as well, to bring a championship here to Cincinnati." Read more: Packers Linked as Possible Suitor for Potential Free Agency Steal Those words from Manning are a massive sign of how good Burrow has become. He is more than capable of powering the Bengals back to Super Bowl contention Entering the 2025 season, it will be interesting to see if he is able to get the job done. It will start with Cincinnati being a playoff team and with Burrow under center there is no reason the team should fall short of that goal. Manning is expecting big things from Burrow and it will be interesting to see if he delivers this year. For more Cincinnati Bengals and NFL news, head over to Newsweek Sports.
