After signing Russell Wilson, Steelers trade 2022 1st-round pick Kenny Pickett to Eagles

The Russell Wilson signing by the Pittsburgh Steelers didn't seem to signify the end of the Kenny Pickett era, though it was going to take a lot of work for Pickett to get back in the team's short- and long-term plans.

Pickett and the Steelers decided to end it anyway.

Pickett, a 2022 first-round pick by Pittsburgh, was surprisingly traded to the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Eagles gave up the 98th pick and two 2025 seventh-round picks and get Pickett and the 120th overall pick back, via Schefter.
