There’s more details as to why the Pittsburgh Steelers traded QB Kenny Pickett after spending the bulk of the offseason publicly optimistic about Pickett’s chances of bouncing back in 2024. As has been mentioned by other reports as to the catalyst of the trade, the NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero and MMQB’s Albert Breer color in the details of the last week.
According to Breer, Pickett felt “misled” by the team about being given the chance to start. Per his Friday tweet, Mike Tomlin told him Wilson would open the spring working with the 1’s. That’s when he asked to be dealt.
