Kenny Pickett

Eagles acquired QB Kenny Pickett from the Steelers in exchange for draft picks.

The Eagles sent the No. 98 pick in this year’s draft and a 2025 seventh-round pick to the Steelers in exchange for Pickett and the 120th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Pickett reportedly wanted to move on from the Steelers after the team announced the signing of Russell Wilson and now gets a chance for a fresh start with the Eagles. Pickett has thrown for 4474-13-13 in 25 career games with the Steelers and went 14-10 as a starter. Playing in an offense led by former offensive coordinator Matt Canada didn’t do Pickett any favors over the last two years, but it became apparent toward the end of last season that the team felt more comfortable with Mason Rudolph at the helm after they opted to play Rudolph over Pickett in the team’s Wild Card loss to the Bills. We’ve seen enough from Pickett to know he’s likely best served as a career backup, but a solid year or two in Philadelphia could reignite interest in him as a starter once his rookie contract expires.
