February 16th, Fields joins AFC East Two days have been eventful for the quarterbacks room of the Pittsburgh Steelers. The trade with the Chicago Bears that everyone has been waiting for is finally completed on Friday after they dealt away Kenny Pickett.
According to numerous sources, the Bears are only giving the Steelers quarterback Justin Fields in exchange for a conditional sixth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Should Fields play at least 51 percent of Pittsburgh’s offensive snaps in 2024, the pick may increase to a fourth-round selection.
With the top overall pick in the April draft, Chicago is predicted to choose USC signal caller Caleb Williams. The entire NFL community has been waiting for Chicago to deal Fields to a suitor; however, the Bears’ asking price—which they received for the No. 1 pick last offseason—was reportedly several No. 1 picks.
Justin Fields and Russell Wilson are now in the quarterbacks’ room with the Steelers.
Steelers Trade Picket, March 15 Kenny Pickett, the quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers, was dealt to the Philadelphia Eagles, according to sources on Friday.
Pittsburgh will get two 2025 seventh-round selections, as well as a third-round selection (98th overall), according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. To complete the transaction, Philadelphia will also receive a fourth-round pick (No. 120) in addition to the quarterback.
In the last two seasons, Pickett has started 24 games for the Pittsburgh Steelers after being selected by them with the 20th overall choice in the 2022 NFL Draft. Pickett’s hometown Steelers were hindered by injuries and poor play, so his 14-10 record wasn’t good enough.
Although the Pitt Panther’s seven game-winning drives led to six fourth-quarter comebacks, their play was unimpressive overall. Mason Rudolph took over as the starter when Pickett had an ankle injury during the previous season, and he did so even after Pickett recovered.
Rudolph and Pickett were deemed disposable following the signing of Russell Wilson this week, and both have now joined other teams. Rudolph was dealt to Tennessee this week.
