The Pittsburgh Steelers have acquired wide receiver D.K. Metcalf from the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for at least a second-round pick. Metcalf had requested a trade and will now sign a new five-year deal worth $150 million with the Steelers. With Metcalf, the Steelers now have a high-profile big-play receiver they have been missing since Antonio Brown was traded in 2019. The question remains who will be throwing the ball to Metcalf, with options including Russell Wilson or Justin Fields, both of whom led the team to a 10-7 record last season. Metcalf’s addition could make Pittsburgh more attractive to other quarterbacks entering the market. Additionally, Metcalf could potentially serve as a mentor to George Pickens, a talented yet mercurial wide receiver on the Steelers’ roster. Despite Pickens’ occasional missteps, the team remains optimistic about his potential. The acquisition of Metcalf marks a bold move by Steelers general manager Omar Khan, who had previously pursued Brandon Aiyuk last summer without success. The Steelers hope that the addition of Metcalf will help improve their offense, which struggled down the stretch and led to a disappointing end to their season.
