In addition, ESPN reports Steelers and Metcalf, which accepts a five-year-old, $ 150 million contract to keep him with the team in the long term.
Steelers already have one of the best deep ball threats in the game with George Pickens in the wide reception room, and he will now be paired with Metcalf, which may be the same threat everywhere on Gridiron.
Metcalf was looking for a new contract this season as he was on his way to the last year of his three -year -old, $ 72 million deal with Seattle.

Last week, Metcalf requested to be traded by Seahawks after having conversations about his future with the franchise, which chose him in the second round of 2019. GM John Schneider noted to take calls from a lot of teams after the news became public, but that he would make a deal that best suited his team, not Metcalf, for the future.
Schneider has been busy restoring Seahawks’ depth cards this season as he also cut veteran wide receives Tyler Lockett, Defensive Tacklinger Dre’mont Jones and Roy Robertson-Harris, Safety Rayshawn Jenkins and offensive tackle George Fant.
And Metcalf was not the only offensive star to be treated elsewhere – his start -quarterback since 2022 was also moved.

Geno Smith was reunited with Pete Carroll after Seahawks sent him to Las Vegas Raiders in exchange for a 2025 third round election.
It is a new look Seahawks team that has a good draft of capital as well as young pieces as well as running backs Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnett and the broad recipient Jaxson Smith-Njigba to build around.
For Steelers, their next big acquisition will be their quarterback for the 2025 campaign.
Last season it was time -divided with Justin Fields and Russell Wilson, of which the latter rehabed from injury and got his starting job back when he was healthy. Head coach Mike Tomlin once again led his team to a playoff -kaj despite mediocre offensive production, although it wasn’t long with a wild card -round exit.
With the 27-year-old Metcalf locked in the coming years with other solid talent on offensive, Steelers hopes to lock a signal call very soon. Wilson and Fields are available as well as other free agent settings such as Sam Darnold, Jameis Winston and Aaron Rodgers, which are expected to be released by Jets on March 12, when the new league begins.
