ESPN reporting that DK Metcalf rumored to be heading to the Pittsburgh Steelers
The Seattle Seahawks are trading wide receiver DK Metcalf to the Pittsburgh Steelers, who are signing the two-time Pro Bowler to a five-year, $150 million contract, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The Steelers are sending a second-round draft pick to the Seahawks and flipping picks with Seattle in the sixth and seventh rounds, sources said.
Metcalf had requested a trade out of Seattle on March 5 after he had a series of conversations about his future with the Seahawks the previous two weeks. His trade comes after the Seahawks dealt quarterback Geno Smith to the Los Vegas Raiders earlier this week.
A day after Metcalf's trade request, Seahawks general manager John Schneider said Seattle was "talking to a ton of teams" and taking offers. Schneider made it clear that his obligation in a potential Metcalf trade was to do what's best for the Seahawks, first and foremost -- meaning that if the receiver were dealt, it would be to the team that made Seattle the best offer and not necessarily where he preferred to play.
