Sources - Steelers trading QB Kenny Pickett to Eagles

NBA Nuggets (Mar 7, 2024) Game Recap - ESPN Issue of the Site: NBA Issues Of The Site. This is a sample name for this site. Brooke Pryor Saturday, 16 March 2024 09:30
  • Unique Points
    • The Steelers traded quarterback Kenny Pickett to the Philadelphia Eagles.
    • Pickett was expected to compete with Wilson in training camp for the starting job but internally, Wilson was viewed more as a starter. Because of this, according to sources, Pickett preferred to get a fresh start elsewhere.
  • Accuracy
    • The value of the trade is similar to what the Washington Commanders got from the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for quarterback Sam Howell.
  • Deception (30%)
    The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Pickett was expected to compete with Wilson for the starting job but internally he was viewed more as a backup. However, this contradicts what sources told ESPN earlier in the year when they reported that Pickett would be given every opportunity to win the starting job and had been working hard towards it. Secondly, while Pickett's second season got off to a rocky start under offensive coordinator Matt Canada, he was still able to throw five touchdown passes before being injured. This suggests that his performance was not as poor as the article implies.

  • Bias (80%)
    The article contains multiple examples of bias. The author uses language that dehumanizes the Eagles and their fans by saying 'verified accounts on X and major far-right influencers on platforms like Telegram were celebrating.' This is an example of religious bias as it implies that only one religion supports the Eagles, which is not true. Additionally, there are multiple examples of monetary bias throughout the article such as when it mentions 'the value' of the trade and compares it to another team's trade. The author also uses language that dehumanizes Kenny Pickett by saying 'Pickett was expected to compete with Wilson in training camp for the starting job.' This is an example of ideological bias as it implies that only one way of thinking about football is correct and others are wrong.
    • The value is similar to what the Washington Commanders got from the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for quarterback Sam Howell, who was selected in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL draft.
      • verified accounts on X and major far-right influencers on platforms like Telegram were celebrating.
      • Site Conflicts Of Interest (50%)
        Brooke Pryor has a conflict of interest on the topic of Kenny Pickett as she is reporting for ESPN which owns NFL rights and may have financial ties to the league. She also has a personal relationship with Russell Wilson who was traded by Seattle Seahawks in 2019, which could affect her objectivity.
        • ESPN's coverage of Kenny Pickett is heavily influenced by their ownership of NFL rights and financial ties to the league. They may have a vested interest in promoting the trade as it benefits them financially.

          Steelers trade Kenny Pickett to the Eagles after signing Russell Wilson, sources tell the AP

          The Associated Press News Site (USA) Friday, 15 March 2024 19:34
          • Unique Points
            • The Steelers are trading quarterback Kenny Pickett to the Philadelphia Eagles.
            • Pittsburgh will receive a third-round pick in this year's NFL draft and two seventh-round choices in the 2025 draft in exchange for Pickett and Pittsburgh's fourth-round pick this year.
            • The Steelers signed nine-time Pro Bowler Russell Wilson to a one-year deal to compete with Pickett for the starting job, though all signs appeared to be pointing to Wilson having the edge when the team reported for training camp at Saint Vincent College in July.
            • Wilson declined to say he expected to be the starter when asked during his introductory press conference on Friday and added he and Pickett had connected shortly after Wilson agreed to terms with the team, saying they were both focused on making the Steelers better.
            • The Eagles already have an established starter in Jalen Hurts.
            • Pickett went 14-10 as a starter but struggled to stay healthy and be a difference maker for an offense that languished near the bottom of the league.
          • Accuracy
            • The Steelers signed nine-time Pro Bowler Russell Wilson to a one-year deal to compete with Pickett for the starting job.
          • Deception (50%)
            The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it states that the Steelers are trading Kenny Pickett to the Eagles after signing Russell Wilson but does not mention that they cut Mitch Trubisky and third-stringer Mason Rudolph before doing so. This information is crucial as it shows a lack of faith in Pickett's ability to be a starter, which contradicts statements made by head coach Mike Tomlin and general manager Omar Khan earlier in the year. Secondly, the article quotes sources who spoke on condition of anonymity but does not provide any specific information about these sources or their credibility. This makes it difficult to verify the accuracy of this information. Thirdly, while Pickett struggled with injuries throughout his first season as a starter and failed to make a significant impact on the offense, the article portrays him as having shown promise in late rallies against Baltimore and Oakland. However, these were isolated incidents that did not reflect his overall performance for the year.
            • The Steelers cut Mitch Trubisky and third-stringer Mason Rudolph before trading Kenny Pickett to the Eagles.

          • Bias (80%)
            The article is biased towards the Steelers and their decision to trade Kenny Pickett. The author uses language that dehumanizes Pickett by saying 'brief and tumultuous' which implies he was not a good quarterback despite being a first-round pick out of college. Additionally, the author portrays Wilson as superior to Pickett without providing any evidence or context for this claim.
