While the Philadelphia Eagles have dreams of repeating as Super Bowl champions in 2025, one former Birds quarterback isn't exactly thriving with his new AFC team.

Kenny Pickett was part of the Eagles' magical 2024 Super Bowl run, and even played a role at times last season for the Birds after Jalen Hurts suffered a concussion late in the season.

However, after moving on to the Cleveland Browns this offseason via trade, Pickett could be on the move once again, and Pro Football Focus listed him as one of several potential players that could have a new home as training camp heats up.

 

While the Birds seem very comfortable with their quarterback situation, led by Hurts, the Browns cannot say the same for their team given the fact that they have five quarterbacks on the roster at this point.

The tough part for Cleveland is that Pickett isn't exactly shining during training camp and the Browns remain stuck under Deshaun Watson's monstrous guaranteed deal, added Joe Flacco this offseason and that's on top of the team also drafting two rookies Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel back in April.

While it's clear that Pickett deserves to find a more permanent home in the NFL, it likely will never be as a starter, and that's why he finds himself in a position where he could be traded once again.
