Following his trade to the Dallas Cowboys, George Pickens allegedly made a derogatory Instagram comment against the Pittsburgh Steelers that went viral.

After being traded from the Pittsburgh Steelers to the Dallas Cowboys in return for selections in the 2026 and 2027 NFL Drafts, George Pickens seemed to be doing everything right.

Pickens’ first conference call with the Dallas media went well; instead of thinking back on his time with the Steelers and raising concerns about his maturity, he focused on winning games and his future with the Cowboys.

On social media, though, a purportedly Pickens-sent Instagram message that was swiftly removed could reveal something else.

Pickens allegedly criticized the Steelers for being the “cheapest organization” in the NFL in a statement that was screenshotted and circulated on social media by many sources.

According to reports, the remark was made in reaction to a Prospect Media article regarding the Steelers’ deal.

“They the cheapest organization,” Pickens allegedly replied on the ‘Gram. “Ain’t no stacking year after year they gone let them n—- go too soon as it’s time lmaoo.”

According to Steeler Nation, the remark was made beneath a video of Prospect Media’s Payton Wilson and Beanie Bishop talking about the trade. Regardless of his feelings toward the Steelers organization, the high-risk move from the Cowboys could be successful as long as Pickens is happy to be in Dallas and acts like he did during the introductory conference call. Pickens hauled in 59 receptions for 900 yards and three touchdowns last season, and he recorded 174 receptions for 2,841 yards and 12 touchdowns during his time in Pittsburgh.
