Ex-Steelers WR George Pickens goes viral after claiming he forced trade out of Pittsburgh
George Pickens isn't taking criticism from Steelers fans lying down — as he recently took to social media to clear up who was really responsible for his trade to the Dallas Cowboys. In a now-deleted tweet, Pickens claimed that he forced his trade out of Pittsburgh — contradicting previous reports that Steelers HC Mike Tomlin made the call: Advertisement 'I forced [the trade] buddy. [The Steelers] were gladly keeping me. Have a nice day and a blessed one my guy.' Reports had been circulating that the disgruntled wide receiver wanted to remain a Pittsburgh Steeler — which makes this new take difficult to believe, even if it's from Pickens himself. If he truly did force his way out of Pittsburgh, it would explain why the Cowboys gave up only a third-round pick, as the Steelers would've lost all leverage.

Aaron Rodgers to sign with Steelers — will Jets WR Allen Lazard follow him to Pittsburgh?
Aaron Rodgers is headed to the Steel City — and it seems like only a matter of time until one of his closest friends, WR Allen Lazard, joins the Pittsburgh Steelers as well. According to multiple reports — first brought to light by insider Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette — Rodgers will sign a contract on Friday and attend mandatory minicamp next week. Advertisement Before the Rodgers news, NBC's Mike Florio had plenty to say about the potential arrival of Lazard — considering the Steelers "in play" to make the trade. Since entering the NFL in 2018, Lazard has never spent a season apart from Rodgers — having played with him during their time on both the Packers and the Jets. Rodgers has proven he can unlock the best in his most trusted receivers — and a potential reunion on the Steelers would do wonders for the offense. Will Pittsburgh ultimately trade for Lazard — or are Rodgers' part-time GM days behind him? For up-to-date Steelers coverage, follow us on X @TheSteelersWire and give our Facebook page a like.

Steelers OT Broderick Jones calls switch from Russell Wilson to Aaron Rodgers 'surreal'
The feeling of playing behind two future Hall of Fame QBs isn't lost on Steelers OT Broderick Jones. At mandatory minicamp, Jones was asked to share his thoughts on playing with Russell Wilson last season, only to now be blocking for Rodgers the following year — and this was his response (courtesy of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette): Advertisement "Man, I was just thinking about that last night," Jones said. "It's like, dang, we really got Aaron Rodgers now. I never thought I'd be playing for those two quarterbacks, right? I watched them growing up — so it's just like, playing with them right now is surreal. Going from [Wilson] last year to now [Rodgers] is just a crazy lineup to me." Aside from protecting Rodgers' blindside, Jones faces major expectations this season, as the Steelers' 2023 first-rounder hasn't quite lived up to his draft status just yet — but a switch back to left tackle could be the fuel for a breakout 2025 campaign.
