Player: QB Kenny Pickett
Stock Value: Sold
Reasoning: In perhaps the most surprising move of the offseason, the Steelers moved on from QB Kenny Pickett. Once seen as the future face of the franchise, now he’s the disgruntled underachiever who yielded little return on investment. He exits the franchise with 14 wins and 13 touchdown passes; he may be the only quarterback with more wins than touchdown passes.
There’s a good chance that anybody who claims they saw this coming is lying. From the sounds of it, the Steelers didn’t see this coming, either, until Kenny Pickett forced the issue.
