The Eagles cut the Pro Bowl cornerback last week in an expected financial move ... and now they will see him play in a Steelers uniform.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported the Philadelphia Eagles traded former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett.
Philadelphia's secondary is undergoing a massive transformation as Isaiah Rodgers heads to the Vikings and Darius Slay reportedly closes in on a deal with the Steelers.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have genuinely tried to move on and let bygones be bygones, but they haven’t been able to escape Kenny Pickett. No matter what they do, their former quarterback never seems to be too far away.
By acquiring DK Metcalf via a trade with the Seahawks, the Steelers now have a dangerous receiving duo similar to the one that resides in Philadelphia with A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. To compete the plans, the Steelers just need to find their version of Jalen Hurts, which might very well be Justin Fields if Pittsburgh can re-sign him.
Former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett is back in the AFC North. Pickett is heading to the Cleveland Browns for a fifth-round pick and Dorian Thompson-Robinson in return.
