Talk about a spring housecleaning.
Steeler GM Omar Kahn completely gutted his team's quarterback room faster than Bob Vila taking down a century-old Victorian on an episode of This Old House.
Kahn didn't just knock out a few walls. He bulldozed the entire building and demolished the structure's foundation.
And for a team that hasn't reached a conference title game since 2016, it is a wake-up call the organization desperately needs.
I can't ever recall any NFL team swapping out an entire position group, let alone its most recognizable one.
The acquisition of Russell Wilson and Justin Fields coupled with the departure of Kenny Pickett represents a paradigm shift in Pittsburgh towards a more mobile, dual-threat player with a goal of duplicating the offensive versatility seen from perennial playoff participants in Kansas City, Baltimore and Buffalo.
That dynamic also caused an about-face turnaround in Houston, courtesy of rookie C.J. Stroud.
It is a trend that should continue as the immobile NFL pocket passer appears on the verge of becoming an endangered species.
Fields is younger, more experienced and more accomplished than the Steelers' incumbent starter.
He is one year removed from posting the second most rushing yards ever by any NFL quarterback in a single season.
Wilson guided teams to eight playoff appearances and two Super Bowls during his first decade with the Seahawks and owns no less than four player of the year awards.
Both were acquired for a song.
The market for Fields had softened considerably as the Bears refocused their efforts on selecting yet another can't-miss quarterback prospect.
It will mark the third time since 2017 this once proud franchise will devote a high first-round pick to that position.
While multiple nuisance injuries, a lackluster running game and suspect offensive line didn't help Pickett's cause, his dissatisfaction at the mere suggestion that he must compete for the starting job with Wilson was the final straw.
Turns out the least redeeming of Pickett's qualities wasn't his hand size. It was his ego.
The lack of development and eventual departure of Mitch Trubisky, Mason Rudolph and Pickett was partly due to the team's revolving door of offensive coordinators ever since Bruce Arians exited stage left.
They are not alone. The Jets' mismanagement of Sam Darnold and Zach Wilson as well as the Bears' ongoing quarterback saga are examples of young quarterbacks prematurely anointed to the role of the savior of their franchises while expected to work miracles with flawed schemes.
NFL teams would do well to remember that future Hall of Fame players Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady benefited greatly from observing proven veterans like Brett Favre and Drew Bledsoe thrive while at the controls of innovative offensive systems early in their careers.
My guess is that near term, the Steelers want the same for Fields.
While the Steelers' GM may have "Khanned" the Eagles into trading for the petulant Pickett, it was the complete lack of draft capital he surrendered for Fields that had me exclaiming "Oh my," when the trade was announced.
By also dumping the unmotivated Diontae Johnson, Kahn made clear his intention to remove the stench of a prevailing me-first attitude in the locker room.
Bringing in both Wilson and Fields was necessary -- calculated risks taken in order to address the team's most pressing need.
