LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — The Cleveland Browns have agreed to trade quarterback Kenny Pickett to the Las Vegas Raiders in exchange for a fifth-round draft pick, according to sources cited by ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The Raiders were in need of additional quarterback depth after Aidan O'Connell fractured his wrist during the preseason finale.
O'Connell is expected to be sidelined for six to eight weeks, leaving Geno Smith as the primary quarterback.
The acquisition of Pickett aims to bolster the Raiders' quarterback lineup during O'Connell's absence.
