The Steelers added Russell Wilson to the QB room this week and it prompted Kenny Pickett to ask for a trade, as Adam Schefter reports he's headed to Philadelphia in a pick swap.

Pickett never found his footing in the Steel City due to a mix of injury issues and inconsistent play. Now he gets a chance to backup Jalen Hurts and try to rebuild his standing in the league.

Russell Wilson was gonna compete with Pickett, but now it looks like the Steelers are handing the keys to the league's 21st-ranked passer by ESPN QBR last season.
