The move will not be very expensive for Kenny Pickett. Disavowed by Pittsburgh, who signed Russell Wilson last Monday, the first quarterback of the 2022 draft packed his bags but remained in Pennsylvania, joining the Eagles.
Compensation for the trade is not yet known, but would be a prime trade of the same round according to Adam Shefter (ESPN). Still according to ESPN, the ex-Panthers (from Pittsburgh, already!) would not have wanted to be in competition with Russell Wilson.
After Marcus Mariota last year, Philadelphia once again gets back a disowned former starting quarterback at a lower cost (Kenny Pickett is still under rookie contract) to fill the role of Jalen Hurts' understudy.
Pickett threw for 2,070 yards, 6 touchdowns and 4 interceptions in 12 games last season.
