As for why the Steelers could draft a wide receiver in the first round to replace Diontae Johnson DeFabo, there is still a possibility that the Steelers draft either Johnson or Pickens.
If the goal is to escape the recipient of the headache, the team can choose one or the other.
Johnson received a lot of criticism for not attempting a fumble in Week 12.
He also reportedly got involved in a locker room altercation after Week 11 and made a public fuss with profanity after Week 8.
However, Pickens removed all references to the Steelers from his Instagram account after Week 9, causing controversy on social media.
He had two catches this week for minus-1 yard.
But if you have a choice before 2024, moving on from Johnson is the best option for Pittsburgh.
Johnson is under contract through the 2024 season, but has no guaranteed money left on his contract.
If the Steelers release him, he would be considered a $5.
8 million cap hit.
He could also be an interesting trade candidate.
Contending teams will like the fact that he is only 27 years old and has no guaranteed money left on his contract.
