Kenny Pickett was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles last week after spending his career with the Pittsburgh Steelers, and the quarterback has now broken his silence on his exit
Kenny Pickett has spoken out about his trade from the Pittsburgh Steelers to the Philadelphia Eagles, insisting he has no hard feelings towards his former team.
In his introductory press conference with the Eagles on Monday, the 25-year-old explained how he believes he handled his exit from the Steelers correctly.
“I think the communication is what it is,” Pickett told reporters. “It was behind closed doors. I’m confident in the way I handled it. I handled it the way I should’ve handled it. I’m excited to be here.”
“It worked out so well that Philly was the place I ended up landing in. So, I think everything happens for a reason and I’m right where I’m supposed to be.”
Pickett’s comments come after the signal caller posted a farewell message to the city of Pittsburgh but not the Steelers organization. It was reported that Pickett took umbrage with the Steelers signing Russell Wilson, with reports stating the quarterback was handling the arrival of Russell Wilson “poorly.”
