Steelers Trade QB Kenny Pickett to Eagles, Making Room for Russell Wilson

The Pittsburgh Steelers are trading quarterback Kenny Pickett to the Philadelphia Eagles, clearing the way for Russell Wilson to start. Pickett's tenure in Pittsburgh was marked by struggles and injuries, and the signing of Wilson signaled the end of his time as a potential starter. Despite the initial expectation for Pickett and Wilson to compete for the starting job, it appears that Wilson was signed with the intent to start in 2024 without a competition. Pickett will now join the Eagles as a backup to Jalen Hurts, while Steelers fans prepare for a season with Wilson leading the way at quarterback.
