The Pittsburgh Steelers made a shocking move on Friday evening in shipping former first-round quarterback Kenny Pickett to the Philadelphia Eagles. His tenure only lasted two years and all of 24 starts with the organization before he was shipped away for a pick swap, bringing a 2024 third-round pick to Pittsburgh and two 2025 seventh-round picks in exchange for Pickett and one of the Steelers’ fourth-round picks. Pickett took to Instagram to bid farewell to the city.
“Thank you, Pittsburgh! I came to this city 7 years ago and my life changed forever,” Pickett wrote. “Grateful for all of the amazing people I was fortunate enough to cross paths with, and for all of those who supported me along the way.
