PITTSBURGH -- Six-hundred-and-eighty-seven days after he was drafted, Kenny Pickett, the No. 20 overall pick and quarterback who owner Art Rooney II introduced on April 29, 2022 as the man who broke all of Dan Marino's college records, is gone.

Traded to Philadelphia, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter, hours after the Pittsburgh Steelers welcomed Russell Wilson into their building, Pickett's departure doesn't signal a complete overhaul of the old-school, loyal organization's way of thinking. If anything, it reinforces that core tenet at the heart of the franchise.
