Quarterback Kenny Pickett's days on the Pittsburgh Steelers might be numbered with Russell Wilson on his way to the Steel City.
Wilson announced Sunday he's signing with the Steelers, which prompted The Athletic's Mark Kaboly to posit that "Pickett's career as a Pittsburgh Steeler is all but over."
"The Steelers have to decide on Pickett's fifth-year option next May," he wrote. "I suppose a colossal Wilson failure coupled with a late-season Pickett push could change the youngster's trajectory, but that's asking a lot."
Head coach Mike Tomlin and general manager Omar Khan will probably say all of the right things about this being an open QB battle and the organization still having faith in Pickett.
