On Sunday, George Pickens just showed the NFL why the Pittsburgh Steelers traded him away in the first place.

After the knee-jerk reactions surrounding the Pickens trade began to settle, the former Steelers disgruntled receiver apparently decided things were too peaceful — and took to social media to air out grievances, Andrew Vasquez of Steelers Wire reports.

In classic Pickens fashion, the new Cowboys WR blasted the Steelers organization with an Instagram comment now going viral:

"They the cheapest organization. Ain’t no stacking year after year they gone let them (expletive) go too soon as it’s time Lmaoo."

He is, of course, referencing the decision to trade wide receivers away at the end of their deals rather than signing them to massive extensions — but newsflash to Pickens, your replacement DK Metcalf just got one.
