It might be nothing, but it might be something.
George Pickens is an active Instagram poster, especially on his story. And the Steelers star certainly likes to make the NFL world think, if nothing else.
On Tuesday, Pickens posted a photo on his Instagram story featuring him and Tom Brady.
Brady, of course, won seven Super Bowls as a player with the Patriots and Buccaneers. But more relevant now in his post-playing days is Brady’s role as one of the owners of the Las Vegas Raiders.
Could Pickens be hinting that he’s heading to Vegas?

It certainly wouldn’t come as a total surprise after analysts have begun to discuss the idea of a Pickens trade in recent days.
The Steelers added DK Metcalf, and the thinking could go that he was brought in to replace Pickens, not to add to him.
Pickens might like the idea of heading to the Raiders and playing with an established quarterback like Geno Smith rather than waiting to see where the dominoes fall in Pittsburgh’s QB pursuits.
Of course, one of those free agent quarterbacks (Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson) might prefer Pittsburgh much more if both Metcalf and Pickens are there.
So who knows? Pickens might just be messing with us all. But posting with Brady on Instagram feels like just a little bit more than nothing.
