? WPXI: Like Kenny Pickett, former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mitch Trubisky is also selling his Pittsburgh-area mansion. The home in Edgeworth was listed for $1.9 million. Built in 1987, the house sits on over a half acre of land and has four bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms.

Trubisky’s house is listed with Sayward Lehman with Sotheby’s International Realty.

? Steelers outside linebacker T.J. Watt was with Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, wide receiver Rashee Rice and owner Clark Hunt at the 101 Awards on Friday night. Watt was named AFC Defensive Player of the Year by the Committee of 101.

? Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette thinks George Pickens could be upset if the Steelers draft a wide receiver in the first round.

“If you draft a receiver in the first round, George Pickens is going to feel some type of way,” Batko said on 93.7 The Fan.

? At $188.8 million, the Cleveland Browns field the NFL’s most expensive offense, according to Warren Sharp of Sharp Football. Quarterback Deshaun Watson’s unprecedented fully guaranteed five-year, $230 million contract certainly plays a role in that.

? Former NFL wide receiver DeSean Jackson thinks the San Francisco 49ers should let wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk go free.

“It’s going to be hard for him to stay in San Francisco with him going on his fifth year. I don’t think they’ll be able to get a deal done. Let that man be free and go get a deal somewhere else,” Jackson said on Up & Adams with Kay Adams. In your fifth year, you’re already supposed to get that extension, so I don’t think he wants to go another season to wait to go secure his bag.”

Jackson agreed with Adams that the Steelers could be an ideal landing spot for Aiyuk.

“If it’s a fit … I definitely like that,” Jackson responded.
