Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni has made it clear that the team has no interest in trading quarterback Kenny Pickett to either the Miami Dolphins or Green Bay Packers, despite rumors circulating about potential offers from both teams. Pickett, a highly talented and promising quarterback, has been a key figure in the Eagles’ plans for the future, and Sirianni has emphasized the organization’s commitment to keeping him in Philadelphia.
Sirianni’s stance reflects the Eagles’ long-term vision, as Pickett is viewed as a cornerstone of the franchise. Since being drafted, he has shown significant potential, impressing both in practice and games. His leadership qualities, poise under pressure, and ability to adapt to the Eagles’ offensive schemes have made him invaluable to the team’s growth.
The trade rumors likely stem from the Dolphins’ and Packers’ recent quarterback issues. The Dolphins, dealing with Tua Tagovailoa’s injury concerns, are in search of a reliable backup or possible starter, and Pickett would fit the bill given his skill set. The Packers, transitioning from Aaron Rodgers and looking to solidify their quarterback situation, may also see Pickett as a potential solution. Both teams could make enticing offers, but Sirianni and the Eagles appear uninterested.
In his latest press conference, Sirianni addressed the speculation, saying, “We are fully committed to Kenny Pickett. He’s worked extremely hard to be where he is, and we believe in him. Trading him is not part of our plans—he’s a big part of our future.”
Sirianni’s refusal to entertain the idea of trading Pickett also highlights the Eagles’ confidence in their roster and coaching staff. The team is building around young talent, and Pickett’s development is critical to their overall strategy. By shutting down these rumors, the Eagles aim to avoid distractions and focus on building a cohesive and competitive team.
For the Dolphins and Packers, this news may force them to explore other options, either in free agency or by developing their current quarterbacks. As for the Eagles, their focus remains on nurturing their young talent, particularly Pickett, as they continue to build a team capable of competing at the highest level.
