As the NFL geared up for free agency to open with the start of the early negotiation period Monday, the Cleveland Browns made a non-free agent splash with a rare quarterback-for-quarterback trade. The Browns swapped Dorian Thompson-Robinson and a fifth-round pick with the Philadelphia Eagles for Kenny Pickett, the former Pittsburgh Steelers' starter and 2022 first-round selection.
Pickett hasn't exactly lit the world on fire as an NFL quarterback, but he does give Cleveland a quarterback with some experience, a valuable commodity for a team that doesn't currently have a great option at the position. That doesn't mean he will be the team's starter when the calendar flips to Week 1 this fall.
