The Pittsburgh Steelers are catching heat from former executives for not handling their situation like the Pirates are.
PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers are in the spotlight once again for their treatment and ultimate trade of former first-round pick Kenny Pickett. This time, however, they're being compared to another in-city team, and one of the best rookie athletes Pittsburgh has ever seen.
"This is … maybe the one time you might say the Pirates’ front office really got it right and the Steelers’ front office didn’t really have a plan,". "Everything that the Pirates did with Skenes led him to what he did last night. Now, Skenes had to actually go out there and perform. But they put the plan in place … not rushing him, making sure he was doing the right thing”.
The trade to the Eagles happened after the Steelers signed Russell Wilson and made it known he would be in "poll position" to start this season. Days later, Pickett found himself in Philadelphia with the Eagles, and the Steelers acquired Justin Fields from the Chicago Bears.
