The Cowboys shocked the NFL world when they acquired George Pickens for near-pennies — and while every analyst and insider had an opinion on when those trade talks actually began, Steelers GM Omar Khan put the conversation to bed.

Some NFL teams reportedly "laughed" at the idea of trading for George Pickens when learning the Pittsburgh Steelers were shopping the wide receiver during the 2025 NFL draft, according to The Athletic's Jeff Howe.

With Tomlin at the Steelers’ rookie minicamp this weekend, reporters asked the head coach about the move that sent Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys. Instead of going in-depth on the matter, Tomlin opted to echo recent comments made by Steelers general manager Omar Khan.
