On Saturday, head coach Mike Tomlin addressed the media for the first time since Pickens was traded, and while he did not add much color, he said it was simply time.

Mike Tomlin wasn't going to add any fuel to the fire between the Steelers and George Pickens after trading him to the Cowboys.

With Tomlin at the Steelers’ rookie minicamp this weekend, reporters asked the head coach about the move that sent Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys. Instead of going in-depth on the matter, Tomlin opted to echo recent comments made by Steelers general manager Omar Khan.
