The Pittsburgh Steelers have made a significant move by trading quarterback Kenny Pickett to the Philadelphia Eagles. This trade involves Pittsburgh receiving a third-round pick in this year's NFL draft and two seventh-round picks in the 2025 draft in exchange for Pickett and a fourth-round pick this year.
The decision to trade Pickett comes shortly after the Steelers signed Russell Wilson, a nine-time Pro Bowler, to a one-year deal. Wilson's arrival had raised questions about Pickett's future with the team, and the trade now confirms that Wilson will likely be the starting quarterback for the Steelers.
