BEREA, Ohio -- The Cleveland Browns' quarterback situation remains unsettled with few starting options available in free agency, but new addition Kenny Pickett said he has been told he will get the chance to compete to be QB1 in 2025.

The Browns on Wednesday officially announced the trade for Pickett, the No. 20 overall pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2022 NFL draft, sending the Philadelphia Eagles a 2025 fifth-round pick and quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson.

"I'm excited to get back into [the AFC North] and I just think it's a great opportunity to go compete," Pickett said Thursday during an introductory news conference.
