The Pittsburgh Steelers had one of the busiest offseasons in the NFL. One of Pittsburgh’s moves included trading star wide receiver George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys in return for draft capital.
It was a shocking move, as Pickens was arguably the Steelers’ best player on the offensive side of the ball throughout his tenure in the Steel City. Now, the new Cowboys wideout is speaking out about how happy he is to be in Dallas, and is making sure to take a dig at the Steelers coaching staff in the process.
“I’m definitely excited to run better plays with Cowboys,” Pickens said, according to Pro Football Talk, referencing the conversation approach Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin has taken on offense since the retirement of franchise quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
“I give him till week 4, then he’s gonna be trouble for the cowgirls and I will love it. Along with marble mouth Parsons and Dak, what a train wreck,” one fan wrote on Twitter.
“The question is, will he actually run the plays or will he run them and (complain) about them?” someone else wanted to know.
“Wait till George learns about Brian Schottenheimer,” another person wrote.
It’ll be interesting to see if Pickens still finds the grass greener as the season unfolds.
