The qb room has been toxic since Ben got hurt. Tomlin mismanaged his personnel. Chickens come home to roost. Now we have an old qb that has been controversial. Does any nfl qb really want to work under Tomlin? Only if they are desperate.

They had a QB who can’t produce touchdowns and didn’t want to compete. They apparently didn’t think he was worth the trouble.

Wow
Moving up 22 spots from 120 to 98 and toss in a couple 7ths in 2025 tells ya all ya need to know about KFP’s perceived value by the teams involved

I don’t know what people thought the Steelers were going to get for Pickett. I get that he’s a former 1st rounder, but he never played like it. The guy had 13 TD in 25 starts, regressed terribly his 2nd year and just never put it together.
You can blame this or that or make whatever excuse, but the product he put on tape was the reason the return was so paltry.
If I’m being honest, I expect he’ll be a much better QB in Philadelphia. A few recent players that have left Pittsburgh have looked much better elsewhere, Dotson being most notable. Tomlin and staff just simply do not develop players. I expect Kenny will be no different and probably have a decent if unspectacular career.

Obviously Khan won that deal for us
Up 22 spots and two 7ths next year for KFP
Khan artist!...
Not too many teams give anything for a low 30s ranking QB with injury issues...and small hands
I predict your're correct. He'll be a decent backup for the Iggles, at least a fairly cheap one for 2 years.
BTW---I saw Zach Wilson go head to head with Kenny....Wilson was the better QB that day.. and won the game.

I agree to a point, but having a toxic / whiny person around can really bring down the morale or team unity. We had a very toxic director of nursing at one point and it was like a giant weight on the whole building. She ended up getting fired and it was just a huge relief for everyone. Even outside vendors / staff who came into the building without knowing what was going on could feel the difference. If you could suspend a player or keep them away from the team then that would be a different story, but w/ the CBA I do not think you can do that.
No, but they played with Kenny.
"You have been measured. You have been weighed. And, you have been found wanting".
Not to worry, we still have this...
Apples must be sour in Canada this off season???
Penix is not going in the first round unless someone reaches like we did for Pickett.
It wouldn’t be the first time someone over estimated their Penix.
Berm made this prediction before Russell signed and Kenny bailed...
You're a nurse? That's awesome!!!

Pickett was a completely wasted draft pick. And Tomlin sucks. I kind of get the feeling that management is forcing Tomlin's hand in moving on from his mistake. But at some point, management has to acknowledge it's mistake of continuing to do business with the guy who can't produce playoff wins as the headcoach. With all this radical change this season, I'll give him this year to see what happens. But if this season fails, so long, Mike, get the hell out. It's long overdue.
I will go on record as saying I believe he will say do all right things this year. Leapords don't change spots. Dude is a diva. If you sign him beyond this year it will come through. They have a ceiling of 11 wins if he is healthy and floor of 9. Which means 10 and we are all back here next year one and done in playoffs. It wouldn't have been a dumb move if team didn't have a 1st round qb. Now even with the low price it's a dumb move. Russ will either move on next year or you will be giving him 30 per for two or three and building him an office space at the practice facility. But hey. Maybe less hamstring injuries with high knees on the flights.

I couldn't agree more. Great post.
Did anyone else see this coming years ago? This guy is a bust. So very, very done with his handling of my Steelers. Just go away Tomlin.
Presley Harvin III too.
That’s why I was shocked that KP got traded for Buddy Ryan’s warm six-pack.
Hey! Canada’s a huge Conntry!! In my neck of the woods we be eating sweet Honey Crisp.

I slept on it and went looking for info.
Well Mr.Pickett said he was told directly as soon as he found out about them signing Wilson on social media, he called and they told him he would be backing up Wilson.
Doesn't sound like a competition to me. This was after much assurance by the GM and HC they would get him help, that the last two years was a mess.
That's when he asked for a trade. So they dicked Mason around and lied and now they do it to Pickett.
The Steelers are better than this crap. And while I definitely think it's for the betterment of the team and Pickett, that he goes elsewhere. Honestly is always the best policy.
I remember James Harrison leaving because he got dicked around and lied to as well. He didn't handle that properly either.
I hope the hell all of this is over. This idea of getting ready made players when you draft them without having to develop them to a pro level is absurd. That goes for any position.
I'm going to guess they draft a QB. I hope the hell it's a tackle or center in round one. Power football with a qb that can do play action.
What round I don't know. If they reach for a guy that needs a lot of development, it's not going to work out well.
Well look at the bright side. We have no quarterbacks on the roster who have ever played a down for the Steelers. We can't fight over anyone..lol
