Pickett was the backup to Jalen Hurts last season during the Eagles' Super Bowl championship run. Philadelphia acquired Pickett in a trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers last off-season.

Now, he'll get a chance to compete for the Browns' starting quarterback job. Deshaun Watson is recovering from a torn Achilles and Jameis Winston is a free agent. The Browns are expected to also take a quarterback in next month's draft.
