Browns QB Kenny Pickett Linked in Trade to NFC South Squad

Kenny Pickett may not be the long-term answer for the Cleveland Browns, but he could still bring value, just not necessarily on the field.

Pickett arrived in Cleveland this offseason via trade in March. The former first-round pick is viewed by some as the most valuable trade piece in Cleveland’s crowded quarterback room, especially with potential interest brewing from a familiar face.

Browns radio analyst Nathan Zegura floated the possibility that New Orleans Saints head coach Kellen Moore — Pickett’s former offensive coordinator with the Philadelphia Eagles — could look to reunite with the quarterback if things falter in New Orleans with their current situation.

“Probably at this point, Kenny Pickett,” Zegura said when asked which quarterback could bring the most return in a trade. “He’s a former first-round pick, he is young, and went 15-10 as a starter. It would be interesting, for example, if down in New Orleans — Kellen Moore was just with him in Philly — said that it’s not working out with Tyler Shough, maybe we need to bring him down here to be the starter and see what he has.”
