Following some complications with Russell Wilson’s signing, the Pittsburgh Steelers parted ways with quarterback Kenny Pickett, sending the former first-round choice to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Following the trade, the majority of the media started dissecting the transaction and offering their opinions on Pickett and the way things ended in Pittsburgh. Many analysts voiced their criticisms. Subsequently, the brothers Kelce participated, talking about their switch to the Eagles on their podcast New Heights.
Travis Kelce stated, “He just can’t leave the state of Pennsylvania.” “The guy just loves Pennsylvania, man.”
Kelce continued to personalise his critique of Pickett by drawing a comparison between the quarterback’s turmoil with the Steelers and a popular song by his girlfriend, TaPickett was asked about the move during his first press conference with the Eagles but declined to get into detail about how everything went down.
“I just thought it was time,” Pickett said. “It just felt like it was time from things that transpired. Wanted to get a chance to go somewhere else to grow my career.”
The Eagles and Steelers will meet at some point during the season, likely sparking more Pickett talk. But for now, Pittsburgh is moving forward with Wilson and Justin Fields as their quarterbacks, and Pickett has taken his ‘bad blood’ across the state to Philadelphia.
