The Pittsburgh Steelers have moved on from George Pickens after trading him to the Dallas Cowboys, leaving supporters like Stephen A. Smith concerned about the direction of the franchise.

Wallace and Smith-Schuster were declining in their final years with the Steelers before going to new teams. Wallace's yards per game dropped from 74.6 in 2011 to 55.7 in 2012, then he signed with the Miami Dolphins prior to the 2013 season.

Steelers insider Gerry Dulac acknowledged what surprised him the most about the club's recent roster decisions.
