The Seattle Seahawks have traded wide receiver DK Metcalf to the Pittsburgh Steelers for a second-round pick in the 2025 draft, following Metcalf's trade request. The Seahawks aimed to keep Metcalf on an extension but shifted strategy as they pursue a physical, run-oriented offense and felt his contract demands exceeded their limits. In contrast, the Steelers have recently struggled at receiver and hope Metcalf's proven skills will enhance their offense, especially alongside emerging talent George Pickens. The Steelers secured him with a substantial contract, marking a significant move in their receiving corps.
"The Seahawks entered the offseason intent on keeping Metcalf on an extension that would have kept both sides happy, but Metcalf requested a trade last week."
"The Seahawks want a physical, run-heavy identity on offense, so they must have drawn a line in the sand at the $30 million market rate for premium receivers."
