He didn't want to compete for the job, it was his.
Once they signed Wilson, he asked out.
As such, he went to The Eagles to be buried the next 2 years until he can be a free-agent
When he refused to suit up as emergency qb it was a death sentence.
I'm sure there was more to it than this, also

would admit a mistake so soon! He WAS a first round pick - and not many 'experts' had Pickett placed as a first round pick. There are other 'reports' of his displeasure of not finishing last season when he 'thought' he was fit and ready.

Too bad they didn't do anything to try to keep Mason Rudolph......................

and they've had a lot of those of late, along with several other curious personnel decisions. Also, it really doesn't matter who's at QB for them until they make some major improvements to their O line.

one can always dream.
