The Eagles on Friday have traded for former first-round quarterback Kenny Pickett, according to a report.
The Eagles have traded for former first-round quarterback Kenny Pickett, a league source confirmed to NBC Sports Philadelphia.Pickett, 25, was taken by the Steelers with the No. 20 pick out of Pittsburgh in the 2022 draft and started 24 games in his first two NFL seasons. But the Steelers this offseason brought in veteran Russell Wilson, which made Pickett available.
This offseason, Mariota joined the Commanders on a one-year deal so the Eagles had to find a new No. 2. The Eagles reportedly offered a contract to Flacco, which was a signal that the Eagles were looking for an experienced player at that No. 2 quarterback position. The Eagles used a sixth-round pick on McKee out of Stanford last season. There was a thought that perhaps the Eagles would roll the dice with him as a backup in his second season but the Eagles instead added Pickett. The Eagles, as much as any team in the NFL, value the backup quarterback position. They watched their backup win Super Bowl LII, after all.
