Pickett To Eagles

[Northern_Blitz]

Anybody now think we MIGHT take a flier on a QB day 2 if one drops?

Speculation. Did Kenny go HOSTAGE behind the scenes and was REWARDED by yes going to a contender but without a PRAYER of starting?

I think this is what we'll do (but I hope we don't).

I'd rather get a journeyman and someone off the scrap heap (plus a UDFA arm for camp).

Then use the picks we have to get guys who are going to play.

What an epic disaster of a QB situation.

Draft Kenny in the 1st as "Their Guy".

Pair him with the worst coordinator in football.

Grab Mitch in free agency as the vet mentor.

Tell everyone they are not permitted to turn the ball over.

Complete waste of TWO seasons.

Can you say AZ East?? Or CHI East?

Tomlin told players they got their guy in Kenny F'ing Pickett on draft night.

It blew me away when I read it. I think most of us are pretty shocked by this move.

I think I saw several posts on here saying that the door was open to trade him now.

I wouldn't have bet on them doing this (particularly at the return we got), but I think bringing in Wilson meant that we were giving up on Kenny.

And his value is higher now than it will be after sitting on the bench for a year.

[NorthCoast]

The ironic thing is Hurts is likely to be QB1 in PHI long after Wilson has hung up the cleats. Somebody had some short sightedness thinking this through.

There is speculation that happened, but honestly, does anyone think it was going to be a fair competition? Kenny's seen that NOT happen two straight years.

Colbert drafted Kenny. Khan is a different GM from Colbert. He isn’t messing around.

Tomlin told players they got their guy in Kenny F'ing Pickett on draft night, but it's 100% on the lame duck GM to pick the HOF coach's franchise QB?

[Eich]

I guess the Steelers don't listen to Terry Bradshaw! LOL

More evidence that Kahn will not baby malcontents. But some of yinzs can keep denying it.........

More evidence that he was told by Rooney to clean up the messes that Colbert and Tomlin made of the offense the last five years.

[feltdizz]

Wow. Did not expect this but I guess Kenny wanted out. Totally new team now.

Who wants to play poker with Khan?

terms
Steelers get:
3rd rounder (pick 98 ) and two 2025 7th round picks

Steelers Give :
Kenny Pickett and Pick 120 (4th round)

Basically, they gave KP to move up 22 spots from 4th round to 3rd round.

Dulac tweeted that the move was because he wasn't handling Russ's arrival well. Couple that with his refusal to dress week 17 and they're just moving on.

I wanted additional day 2 picks, but Dayum
