The Cleveland Browns are acquiring quarterback Kenny Pickett from the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, a person with knowledge of the trade told The Associated Press on Monday.
The person, speaking to the AP on condition of anonymity because deals can´t be announced until Wednesday, said the Eagles will receive quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson and a fifth-round pick in next month´s draft.
Pickett, a first-round pick by the Steelers in 2022, started one game last season for the Eagles while backing up Jalen Hurts. He was 14-10 as a starter in two years for Pittsburgh.
The Browns, who have the No. 2 overall pick in the draft, may not have Deshaun Watson for most of the season after he ruptured his Achilles tendon for the second time in three months.
Thompson-Robinson was 1-4 as a starter for the Browns in two seasons. Tanner McKee will likely be Hurts' backup next season.
