The Raiders have added a veteran quarterback.

The club is sending a 2026 fifth-round pick to the Browns for Kenny Pickett, according to a person with knowledge of the situation.

Backup quarterback Aidan O’Connell suffered a fractured wrist in the Raiders’ preseason finale Saturday against the Cardinals, meaning rookie sixth-round pick Cam Miller was the team’s only option if starter Geno Smith got injured.

That all changes now with the addition of Pickett, a 2022 first-round pick of the Steelers who spent last season with the Eagles.

Pickett is 15-10 in his starts while completing 471 of 755 passes for 4,765 yards 15 touchdowns and 14 interceptions.

This is a developing story. Ch eck back for updates.
