Pittsburgh Steelers owner Art Rooney II backed wide receiver George Pickens after the players' 2024 frustrations.

PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers president Art Rooney II revealed on Monday that they haven’t had discussions about extending wide receiver

Pickens is under contract for 2025, as is Calvin Austin, the team’s second-leading receiver, but Van Jefferson and Mike Williams are both set to hit free agency. Rooney’s comments indicate that he is planning to go in another direction, though he’s more focused on the Steelers’ future at quarterback.

George Pickens will likely be playing on an expiring contract in the 2025 season. While there's still plenty of time, the Pittsburgh Steelers have not yet discussed extending the contract he signed as the No.

Pickens has flashed promise as a pro but also hasn't yet shown he's worth the numerous headaches he's caused the Steelers during his young career.

Pittsburgh Steelers receiver George Pickens had quite an up and down season that included some controversial game moments that led to penalties, him missing three games with an injury and the Steelers losing in the wild-card round of the playoffs.
