Could have been a good cheap backup QB for the Saints.

Steelers got a bargain.

Honest question, was he really so bad that all he could get was the league minimum?

Anything the Steelers pay him is subtracted from the $39 million the Broncos owe him so no reason for the Steelers to pay anything more than the minimum.

He’s going to be the starter from the jump. Pickett is dogshit.

26 TD
8 Int
3k yards
98 qb rating

Bad for Denver, yes, especially with what they gave up to get him and who he was in the locker room. But he was way better than league minimum.

He’s making 39 mil this season. Bronocos just have the fortune of being the ones paying it

I was listening to t'Athletic Free Agency show last night (it's from a week or so ago) and they made a great case that Russell Wilson and Arthur Smith are a match made in shite. Smith wants his QBs to throw over the middle and Russ refuses to do so

I don’t think it’s subtracted like a coaching salary would be. He just is already making 38 mil GTD from the broncos and then getting the minimum from the Steelers

ETA I stand corrected. He had offset language in his deal it appears
