Pickett Signs with Panthers, Eyes Starting Spot

0:00It's March 17th for the NFL. Let's get into it. Kenny Pickett just signed a one-year deal worth $4 million guaranteed with the Carolina Panthers. He visited their Charlotte Stadium last week to ink the contract, noting how different it felt from his pre-draft trip there back in 20. 22. A lot has changed since then, with new quarterback Bryce Young and Coach Dave Canalis now leading the charge. Pickett already knows both guys well. He first met Young at the Heisman Ceremony in 2021 and saw him again during a joint practice with, the Browns. Pickett had glowing words for his new teammates and coaches during a recent Zoom call with reporters. He called Young a hardworking guy on an inspiring path and praised Canalis as someone you want around in this tough league. The 25th overall pick out of Pitt spent his first two proceeds in starting for the Steelers, going 14 and 10 with 13 touchdowns and 13 picks. He's been a back up the last two years in Philly and Vegas.

1:00Pickett's big aim is to reclaim a starting spot, but he's not rushing it with veteran Andy Dalton still around. For now, he's focused on fitting in and helping out, and he even reminisced about a wild 58-yard touchdown run he scored right there in that.
