DK Metcalf has been traded from the Seattle Seahawks to the Pittsburgh Steelers, signing a five-year, $150 million extension. This move represents a significant blow to the New England Patriots, who had hoped to secure Metcalf as a top receiver, especially after the success of rookie quarterback Drake Maye. Despite Metcalf's preference for a warm climate, the Steelers offered him a lucrative contract, raising questions about the Patriots' ability to attract star talent in recent years, particularly given their ongoing search for a No. 1 receiver.
Patriots fans' dreams of watching DK Metcalf reel in deep throws from Drake Maye were officially dashed Sunday evening.
Metcalf has surpassed 1,000 receiving yards in three of his six seasons in the NFL, closing out his tenure in Seattle with 48 touchdowns.
According to a report from The Athletic's Dianna Russini on Sunday morning, Metcalf 'ideally wants to play in a warm weather climate and is looking to make $30m per year.'
If Metcalf was willing to play in a colder climate in order to net a hefty new contract, one would think that New England would stand as the more-appealing spot.
