Steelers coach Mike Tomlin once referred to receiver George Pickens’s behavior as a “ pebble in my shoe .” Now that the shoe has been removed and the pebble has been shaken out, Tomlin has slipped the sneaker back on his foot and walked away.

The Pittsburgh Steelers decided to trade wide receiver George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys earlier this week. Though the Steelers acquired D.K. Metcalf from the Seattle Seahawks earlier this offseason, they give up another talented and productive receiver in Pickens, who had not requested a trade.
