Okay, so today I decided to look into George Pickens’ contract situation with the Steelers. It popped into my head after seeing some discussion about receivers, and I realized I didn’t really know the specifics for him.
My Process Kicking Off
First thing I did was just grab my tablet while having my morning coffee. Opened up a search engine, nothing fancy. I typed in something simple like “George Pickens contract Steelers”. Pretty straightforward, right? Wanted to see what the basic details were.
Got a bunch of results back, mostly sports sites and news articles from when he was drafted. I started clicking through a couple of the more reliable-looking ones. Had to sift through some draft analysis stuff first, you know how it is, lots of talk about potential and where he was picked.
Digging into the Details
Then I found what I was looking for. It became clear pretty quick it was his rookie contract we’re talking about. That made sense, he’s only been in the league a couple of years.
Here’s what I gathered:
- It’s a standard four-year deal. Seems that’s the norm for guys drafted where he was (a second-rounder, I remembered that part).
- He signed it back in 2022, right after the draft.
- Saw some figures mentioned about the total value over the four years. It wasn’t like superstar money yet, more in that typical range for a rookie drafted in his spot. Looked like a decent signing bonus was part of it too, which is usual.
Didn’t get bogged down in the super fine print like yearly cap hits or guarantees. Honestly, I wasn’t looking for that level of detail today. Just wanted the basics – how long is the deal, when did he sign it, roughly what’s it worth. It’s not like he’s up for a big extension right now, so the simple info was enough for me.
Wrapping Up My Search
So yeah, that was my little research adventure for the day. Confirmed he’s on his rookie contract, a four-year agreement signed back in ’22. Pretty standard stuff for a player drafted in the second round. It’s always interesting to check these things, gives you context when you hear players’ names thrown around in trade talks or performance discussions.
Feels good just knowing the basics. Took maybe 10 minutes while finishing my coffee. Now I know where things stand with Pickens’ contract for the time being.
