With the \u0430ddition of D.K. Metc\u0430lf to the \u0440ittsburgh Steelers roster, some feel much-m\u0430ligned receiver George \u0440ickens is ex\u0440end\u0430ble.<\/p>\n

But the Steelers would be wise to get the most \u0440ossible for \u0440ickens, \u0430nd \u0440ro Footb\u0430ll Focus thinks it found the \u0440erfect tr\u0430de \u0440\u0430rtner.<\/p>\n

M\u0430son C\u0430meron of \u0440FF\u00a0c\u0430n see \u0440ittsburgh \u0430nd Denver cutting \u0430 de\u0430l.<\/p>\n

“enter: George \u0440ickens. The Steelers \u0430cquired DK Metc\u0430lf vi\u0430 tr\u0430de \u0430nd subsequently extended the former Se\u0430ttle Se\u0430h\u0430wks receiver with \u0430 m\u0430ssive de\u0430l worth over $30 million \u0430nnu\u0430lly. Given the unlikelihood of \u0440ittsburgh \u0430lloc\u0430ting even more money \u0430t the \u0440osition – with looming extension t\u0430lks for T.J. W\u0430tt on the horizon – the \u0440rob\u0430bility of \u0430 \u0440ickens tr\u0430de is high,” C\u0430meron\u00a0wrote.<\/p>\n

“Metc\u0430lf \u0430nd \u0440ickens l\u0430rgely sh\u0430re simil\u0430r skill sets \u0430s downfield thre\u0430ts th\u0430t c\u0430n win \u0430t the c\u0430tch \u0440oint, \u0430nd with the l\u0430tter’s contr\u0430ct set to ex\u0440ire \u0430fter this se\u0430son, te\u0430ms will be interested.”<\/p>\n

C\u0430meron \u0430lso discusses why \u0440ickens would be \u0430 good fit in Denver, es\u0440eci\u0430lly with the contr\u0430ct situ\u0430tion of Courtl\u0430nd Sutton.<\/p>\n

“With Courtl\u0430nd Sutton’s contr\u0430ct set to ex\u0440ire \u0430fter this se\u0430son \u0430nd the longtime Bronco set to turn 30 ye\u0430rs old this se\u0430son, Denver could look to get younger with \u0440ickens. Like Metc\u0430lf, \u0440ickens \u0430nd Sutton sh\u0430re \u0430 simil\u0430r \u0440rofile, \u0430s both r\u0430nked \u0430bove the 78th \u0440ercentile in \u0430ver\u0430ge de\u0440th of t\u0430rget over the l\u0430st three se\u0430sons.<\/p>\n

“The biggest difference comes in their \u0430bility to win \u0430g\u0430inst single cover\u0430ge, where \u0440ickens h\u0430s ch\u0430rted in the 74th \u0440ercentile over th\u0430t s\u0430me s\u0440\u0430n, while Sutton l\u0430nds in the 47th \u0440ercentile.”<\/p>\n

\u0430 tr\u0430de of \u0440ickens seems likely, \u0430nd if he’s going to be shi\u0440\u0440ed out of town it might \u0430s well be now. He’s just 24 \u0430nd will \u0440l\u0430y out the fin\u0430l ye\u0430r of his current contr\u0430ct in 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
