If Andy and Co. don't wanna deal with a guy, well, that's a big red flag on the guy for me.

SNR's "Patrick's Buddy" stance isn't a bad one, really.
But at some point, talent needs to win out.
That said, Kelce's not getting younger and Hill is gone. I don't have a problem finding the next bromance among his skill position guys before you start shifting your baseline a little as to personalities.
May just not have been the right year to take on a guy like Pickens. But I also don't think Pickens is a 'bad' kid. The attitude concerns were pretty nebulous; just seems like mostly some laziness and immaturity. Usually getting your dick knocked in the dirt a time or two will shake that off. I don't see him as a toxic personality - just a kid who needs to grow up a bit.
I dunno...this is a tough one. He's sooooooo talented. And as I said, I think in this thread, he's a remarkable route runner to boot. He does all those little WR things that a guy like Moore does, he just does it in a bigger package and with a higher top end.
He's absolutely a boom/bust guy, but if he can keep his head on straight, he's a Justin Jefferson sort of talent. If thats who he becomes, this one will sting a bit.
