According to a tweet from Schefter citing ESPN sources, the Steelers are sending Pickett to the Eagles in a pick swap.

This comes just hours after Russell Wilson was officially signed to a one-year contract.

Schefter added in his tweet that, “Once Pittsburgh signed Russell Wilson, Pickett preferred to move on.”

The Steelers used their No. 20 overall pick on the former Pitt quarterback in the 2022 NFL Draft.
