Seahawks act WR DK Metcalf on Steelers in exchange for 2025 second round pick

DK Metcalf’s trade request was met and a new contract was also required.

The Pittsburgh Steelers, who signed an extension of four years of $ 132 million, took over from the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for a draft pick of 2025. The teams also exchange 2025 picks in the sixth and seventh round, added Pelissero.

The 27 -year -old Metcalf is now under contract for five years and 150 million US dollars.

The two-time Pro-Bowler applied for a trade before his seventh season with the last of his second contract with $ 18 million in 2025. As Pelissero found, Metcalf was looking for a new deal and a fresh start with a candidate. The Steelers went into the playoffs in four of the last five seasons, while the Seahawks have only danced the dance once in the last four seasons.

Pittsburgh no longer worked out a trade for San Francisco 49ers Brandon Aiyuk in the last low season in the last low season.

Although Metcalf is the addition according to which the Steelers strive for, it is also strange to see what becomes Wideout George Pickens, a great talent for controversial chain such as Metcalf, which concludes the last year of his rookie contract.

The Seahawks will now look drastically different when the quarterback Geno Smith is traded on the Las Vegas Raiders, the veteran Tyler Lockett and MetCalf has now disappeared. The former pick of the first round, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, remains, the WR-Korps, as he saw statistically last season-but the closet is pretty bare behind him and it remains to be seen who will throw the ball.

Metcalf also doesn’t know who will throw the ball with the Steelers at the moment. The 2024 starters of the team Justin Fields and Russell Wilson are upcoming freelance agents.

However, Pittsburgh has replaced a long -term WR1. Metcalf-and 66 receptions for 992 yards and five touchdowns (which the Steelers would have led in clutches and yards)-over three 1,000 yards seasons, the physicality, to survive and survive in the tedious AFC North and the speed to break the games wide open.

The Steelers got their guy and after six fertile seasons in Seattle, Metcalf, a traveling cross country and a new conference, says goodbye.
