Kenny Pickett

This is a concern for me too!

 

When I saw it you were the first thing that came to mind

 

Kenny Pickett wasn't in this Super Bowl. Thank God. And I'm drunk again after watching the game at church. Is Pickett still in the NFL?

 

He was with the raiders as backup...Now he will be a free agent

 

He’s still in the league until 4 pm March 11

 

Will he qualify for a pension? I thought players become vested after 4 years of service? I maybe totally wrong.

 

3 credited seasons

55 years old

 

Thank you I was off by 1 year.

Bumped this thread

so you guys can discuss Sam Darnold

 

i heard he requested a trade when the raiders brought in a bookshelf to hold the clipboard on the sidelines. He said he didn't like the competition for his job.

 

He is great to steal money....

 

You keep taking that all day long and twice on Sunday. Keep making bank!! Drop a $2m of that into the index 500 fund and leave it for 40 years and you will be set!!! That alone is $14m at a conservative 5% ror. Bump that to 8% over that period and its $43m. Put the earpiece on the baseball hat backwards, keep your health and you will be set in retirement.

 

Nothing says job security in the NFL like “former first round pick”.

 

Finally getting his chance in Carolina.

 

Funny how that works, people said Mason would be selling insurance years ago. Now he continues making millions clipping his nails on the pine, body fresh, and he wasn’t even a R1 or R2 pick.

 

WHACK THIS FUKIN MOLE

 

The wording of that headline is hard to understand IMO.

Article is apparently KP's college coach saying that the Eagles wanted to keep him, but traded him because Kenny "begged" him because there was no realistic chance for him to win the starting job. They said they'd only trade him if it was good for them.

Then they traded him.

And he wasn't good enough to make the Browns.

Then the Raiders gave up on him.

Now he's on the Panthers.

His college coach thinks that he's still just got to find the "right" place to succeed. Not sure what else someone who has a relationship with him is going to say.

My guess is that he won't have all that many more opportunities to find the "right" place before he gets drummed out of the league.

Seems like a good kid. I hope he can hang on in the league as a backup like Mason has.

 

I'm convinced he was saying that Pickett wanted the Eagles to trade him in 2024 after the Steelers sent him to the Eagles, since he wanted a chance to be a starter and he had no chance against Hurts... But the Eagles kept him for a season as a backup.
