The Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a> have made multiple trades this offseason at the wide receiver position. In March, they acquired Pro Bowler DK Metcalf<\/a> from the Seattle Seahawks<\/a> and immediately gave him a big-money extension. At the beginning of May, the Steelers then shipped star wideout George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Pickens has remained largely silent on the matter until today. He seemed to be getting a lot off his chest, replying to a video running down his antics in Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n

\u201cLmaoo, I play for the Cowboys,\u201d Pickens said. \u201cNow stop reminiscing, bro. And trying to justify the trade, y\u2019all just lost another good player to fake reports like this one.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another fan commented in reply to Pickens, saying the wide receiver was a problem and that\u2019s why he was dealt, to which Pickens said he forced his way out of Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n

\u201cI forced buddy,\u201d Pickens said. \u201cThey were gladly keeping me. Have a nice day and a blessed one my guy.\u201d<\/p>\n

The posts have since been deleted, but Nick Farabugh of PennLive<\/a> posted screenshots in a recent column.<\/p>\n

Pickens previously said he did not force a trade<\/a>, but he seems to be retracting those statements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Pittsburgh Steelers have made multiple trades this offseason at the wide receiver position.
