Eagles Trade Pickett to Browns for QB Deal

The Philadelphia Eagles have traded backup quarterback Kenny Pickett to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for Dorian Thompson-Robinson and a 2025 fifth-round draft pick. Pickett, who previously played for the Pittsburgh Steelers and supported Jalen Hurts with the Eagles, will vie for the starting role in Cleveland as Deshaun Watson recovers from an Achilles injury. Thompson-Robinson, who struggled with accuracy and turnovers, becomes Philadelphia's third-string quarterback behind Tanner McKee. The Eagles benefit from the trade by securing additional draft capital and cap space, while the Browns address their quarterback needs ahead of the 2025 season. Pickett's potential as a starter will be tested as Cleveland continues to evaluate its quarterback options, including the possibility of drafting a new quarterback.
