Days after Pittsburgh traded the mercurial wide receiver to the Cowboys, Steelers beat reporter Mark Kaboly alleged Monday that “significant locker room guys got fed up with Pickens’ antics” and feared toxicity could spread.

Stephen Jones has very high expectations for George Pickens ahead of his first season in Dallas. Jones delivered some high praise for the wide receiver Monday, saying the Cowboys see Pickens as more than a WR2. About a week ago, the Cowboys landed Pickens through a trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Former NFL wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh believes that George Pickens’ antics with the Pittsburgh Steelers were enough for them to move on from him. Houshmandzadeh says he knows people who play on the team, and he would consistently be late for events, including the team’s plane and bus departures.
