George Pickens plays for the Dallas Cowboys . He posted a video on his Instagram story on Monday of him warming up before a game with the Pittsburgh Steelers .
The nearly 20-second clip, which showed the receiver getting ready for a rainy road game against the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium, was accompanied by a song called "Hurse" by an artist named Romee.
It's almost a certainty Pickens isn't hinting at reuniting with the Steelers, with whom he spent his first three NFL seasons before being shipped to America's Team. Mike McCarthy's squad added Michael Pittman Jr. in a trade this offseason and also selected Germie Bernard in the second round of April's 2026 NFL Draft, not to mention Pickens just didn't mesh with the black and gold.
"It just wasn't the long-term fit for where my journey was headed, and that's OK," Pickens wrote in The Players' Tribune last November. "They did right by me. They sent me to the perfect spot in Dallas. What more do you want me to say? There's no drama, bro. No headlines to write. They're doing things their way up there, and I'm down here in Dallas with CeeDee (Lamb) and Dak (Prescott) doing what I do best. Everybody wins."

Catching passes from Prescott last season, Pickens posted 1,429 receiving yards, third in the league behind Seattle 's Jaxon Smith-Njigba and the Los Angeles Rams ' Puka Nacua .
Pickens also registered 93 grabs, nine of which were for touchdowns. However, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones hasn't yet commit to the mercurial and acrobatic wideout for the long-term, franchise tagging him this offseason.
Could Pickens be hinting that he's heading to Baltimore to link up with Lamar Jackson ? Maybe. Who knows? The idea could be more than a bit of stretch. If Pickens' posts are as unpredictable as he is, though, maybe there's smoke.
