Dk Metcalf Is Leaving Seattle For Pittsburgh With A New Deal In Tow, Ap Sources Say

The Pittsburgh Steelers finally have their established big-play wide receiver.

The Seattle Seahawks are sending two-time Pro Bowler D.K. Metcalf to Pittsburgh for at least a second-round pick, sources with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press on Sunday night. The sources spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the deal was not official.

Metcalf had requested a trade from the Seahawks last week. His exodus comes during a tumultuous stretch for Seattle, which released Tyler Lockett - the franchise's second all-time leading receiver - last Wednesday and then dealt quarterback Geno Smith to the Las Vegas Raiders late Friday.

The 27-year-old Metcalf will also receive a new five-year deal worth 150 million, giving Pittsburgh the kind of high-profile big-play wide receiver the club hasn't had since Antonio Brown was traded to the Raiders in March 2019.

Metcalf has had at least 900 yards receiving in each of his six seasons, though he did finish with a career-low five touchdown receptions in 2024. He has the size 6-foot-4 to leap over defenders and the speed to run by them.
