Steelers just know when a receiver is no longer worth the hassle. Tomlin for sure has his warts, but he knows how to keep a lid on some of those guys and get the maximum out of them ... the moment that is not the case anymore, they just move on and that's often the end for that receiver. If you're a GM and the Steelers try to sell you a receiver, it's time to burn that phone ... it's just not going to end well. Emmanuel Sanders was a rare exception, and Juju Smith-Schuster at least had one solid season in KC (and won a ring) ... but those were the guys that left through free agency. Those who were traded? It's not pretty. Antonio Brown, Martavis Bryant, Chase Claypool, Diontae Johnson ... and yeah, I fully expect George Pickens to join that list at some point.
