The Philadelphia Eagles shocked the NFL world after conducting a trade for Kenny Pickett. It's a move nobody saw coming but Pickett is now in Philly.

Pickett reportedly requested a trade shortly after the Pittsburgh Steelers signed Russell Wilson in free agency, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. The Eagles now have an even stronger quarterback room.

“Trade: Steelers are sending QB Kenny Pickett to the Philadelphia Eagles in a pick swap, sources tell ESPN. Once Pittsburgh signed Russell Wilson, Pickett preferred to move on.”

The details of the trade reveal that the Eagles gave up roughly the same value the Seattle Seahawks gave up to acquire Sam Howell. Pittsburgh moves up 22 spots and has another pick within the top 100.

“Trade terms, per sources: Steelers get pick No. 98 and two 2025 7th-round picks. Eagles get QB Kenny Pickett and No. 120. It’s a similar value to [what] Washington got for Sam Howell.”

As for Pickett's trade request, the Steelers dealt the young quarterback due to how he reacted to the Russell Wilson signing, per team reporter, Gerry Dulac. Although Kenny Pickett claimed he was open to competing for the starting job, his mind changed once Wilson was in Pittsburgh.

“The Steelers decision to trade Kenny Pickett was in part because of the way he was handling the arrival of Russell Wilson, per Gerry Dulac. He insisted he was fine with competing, but that changed once they signed Wilson.”

That's not the best look for Pickett. And as a result, he's now in a worse situation than he was in before the trade. He may have had a legitimate chance at winning the starting job in Pittsburgh. However, his chances are nearly zero now that he's with the Eagles.
