Mike Tomlin: “Kenny Pickett felt a change of scenery would be good”
QB Kenny Pickett came to the Steelers as the 20th overall pick in the 2022 Draft, and Pittsburgh fans thought the University of Pittsburgh product would be their savior. However, after two seasons and 24 games played, the franchise traded Pickett to the Eagles after signing QB Russell Wilson for the upcoming season and while they were getting closer to finalizing a trade with the Bears for QB Justin Fields, who It took place one day after Pickett’s goodbye.
Therefore, the Steelers wanted to do the right thing with Pickett, who asked them for a new start on another team: “From his perspective, Pickett felt that a change of scenery would be good,” said HC Mike Tomlin, via Brooke Pryor of ESPN. “When we felt that the business path with Chicago was going in the right direction, the chips began to fall. I won’t go into details about our talks, but I appreciate his efforts during his time in Pittsburgh and I wish him all the best in Philadelphia.
Thus, the Steelers already have a new room of quarterbacks for next year, with Wilson expected to be the team’s starter from Day 1, and with the still young Fields to gain experience behind Wilson and come off the bench if he is requires. Without a doubt, it will be a very different group of quarterbacks than their previous season, when in addition to Pickett, they used Mitchell Trubisky, who left for Buffalo, and Mason Rudolph, who left for Tennessee.

Sean McDermott assures that the Bills have been successful even without the Super Bowl
HC Sean McDermott of the Bills, like the rest of the NFL experts and fans, knows that winning the Super Bowl is the main objective of any team, and he also knows that, under his command and in the history of the franchise , Buffalo has never raised a Vince Lombardi. However this weekend he declared for Tom Pelissero of NFL Media that a trophy is not the only measure of achievement for a head coach, for QB Josh Allen and, in general, to define the success of a team.
“When you talk about the Bills, whether it’s Josh or myself or our team, we’ve had a lot of success,” McDermott said. “What remains for Josh and all of us is to take that extra step that we must. To say we haven’t been successful or that Josh hasn’t been successful would be closed-minded. It’s hard to win in the NFL, so you regroup every year and take it one game at a time. We are all looking for Josh to be the face of the franchise, as he has been, and for him to continue to evolve, as he always has.”
McDermott, who recently turned 50 years old, has led the Bills to the postseason in six of his seven seasons as the team’s head coach, so in that sense it is fair to say that they are a team that is on the verge of success. Ultimately, however, organizations, coaches and players are judged by the Vince Lombardis in their cabinets and the rings on their fingers. So yeah, McDermott and Buffalo haven’t quite had the success they want.
What do you think about Sean McDermott’s words? Are the Bills successful even without having won a Super Bowl? We read you in the comments below this article and on our social networks.

Brian Daboll gets engaged to Daniel Jones
As part of the free agency movements that were presented this month, QB Drew Lock became a new player for the Giants, but that does not mean that he will see a lot of playing time on the field. This weekend, Lock clarified that the organization has let him know that QB Daniel Jones will continue to be the starter when next season begins. So yes, like his role in Seattle, Lock will have to settle for coming off the bench when required.
“We are excited to have Drew and he knows what his role will be,” HC Brian Daboll said, via Tom Pelissero of NFL Media. “He will have a lot of reps this spring, he needs to learn our system, but again I am excited to have Daniel back, when he returns he will be the man,” said Daboll about a Jones who continues to recover from a torn ACL, so he will not It is still certain that he will return in time for Week 1 of the new season.
Jones’ history with New York has really been complicated in the quarterback’s five seasons with the franchise. In 2023 he only played six games, and in 2021 he was also absent from another six games. So yes, Giants fans will probably at some point be able to see what Lock has in store for them; Last year he did well off the bench with the Seahawks, maybe he can repeat good performances if needed.
