The Cleveland Browns are acquiring quarterback Kenny Pickett from the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, a person with knowledge of the trade told The Associated Press on Monday.

The person, speaking to the AP on condition of anonymity because deals can’t be announced until Wednesday, said the Eagles will receive quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson and a fifth-round pick in next month’s draft.

Pickett, a first-round pick by the Steelers in 2022, started one game last season for the Eagles while backing up Jalen Hurts. He was 14-10 as a starter in two years for Pittsburgh.

The Browns, who have the No. 2 overall pick in the draft, may not have Deshaun Watson for most of the season after he ruptured his Achilles tendon for the second time in three months.

Thompson-Robinson was 1-4 as a starter for the Browns in two seasons. Tanner McKee will likely be Hurts’ backup next season.

Fields moves to Jets

Justin Fields was passed over by the New York Jets four years ago in the NFL draft. Now he’s expected to be their No. 1 quarterback.

Fields and the Jets agreed Monday to a two-year contract worth $40 million, a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press.

Fields likely steps in ahead of veteran backup Tyrod Taylor as New York’s starter in place of Aaron Rodgers after the Jets announced last month they are moving forward without the four-time NFL MVP following two seasons. Rodgers, who hasn’t announced whether he’ll play a 21st NFL season, is expected to be released.

The deal for Fields includes $30 million guaranteed, according to the person who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the agreement wasn’t announced by the team. NFL Network first reported the deal between Fields and the Jets.

The Jets also agreed to terms with former Baltimore Ravens cornerback Brandon Stephens on a three-year, $36 million deal, according to a person with knowledge of the contract who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the agreement wasn’t announced.

The 26-year-old Fields spent last season with Pittsburgh after playing his first three NFL seasons with the Chicago Bears, who drafted him in the first round — the 11th overall pick — in 2021 out of Ohio State.

Steelers cut veteran defensive tackle Ogunjobi

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers released veteran defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi on Monday, a move that will free up some salary cap space ahead of free agency.

Ogunjobi, the team’s Waler Payton Man of the Year nominee last season, spent three years in Pittsburgh. He finished with a career-low 41 tackles in 2024 and had just 1 1/2 sacks, tied for the fewest since his rookie year with Cleveland in 2017.

The 30-year-old Ogunjobi had one year left on his current deal with the Steelers. He was scheduled to earn a $4.75 million roster bonus if he was on the team on Friday. The decision to cut Ogunjobi will create around $7 million in cap space.

The Steelers also tendered a contract to running back Jaylen Warren. Warren is scheduled to become a restricted free agent. Warren has been a pleasant surprise since making the team as an undrafted rookie in 2022. Warren has rushed for 1,674 yards and six touchdowns in three years. He’s also caught 127 passes for 894 yards.

Warren could take on a larger role in the Pittsburgh offense next season with Najee Harris, who has topped 1,000 yards in each of his four seasons, set to become a free agent.

The Steelers also re-signed veteran center Ryan McCollum to a one-year deal.
