In addition to that, ESPN reports that the Steelers and Metcalf have accepted a $ 150 million contract over five years to maintain it with the long -term team.
Steelers already have one of the best threats of deep ball of the game with George Pickens in the wide receiver room, and he will now be twinned with Metcalf, which can be the same threat anywhere on the grill.
Metcalf was looking for a new contract during the offseason when it was entering the last year of its $ 72 million agreement over three years with Seattle.

Last week, Metcalf asked to be negotiated by the Seahawks after having conversations on his future with the franchise that chose it in the second round in 2019. The GM John Schneider noted the calls of a lot of teams after the news has become public, but that he would conclude an agreement that best suited his team, and not to Metcalf, for the future.
Schneider was busy reorganizing the Seahawks depth painting during the offseason, because he also cut the receiver of the veterans Tyler Lockett, the defensive plasters Dre’Mont Jones and Roy Robertson-Harris, the security Rayshawn Jenkins and the offensive tackle George Fant.
And Metcalf was not the only offensive star to be treated elsewhere – his quarter -Arrière leaving since 2022 was also moved.

Geno Smith was found with Pete Carroll after the Seahawks sent him to the Las Vegas raiders in exchange for a third -round choice in 2025.
It is a team from Seahawks New-Look which has a good recovery capital as well as young pieces like the Kenneth Walker III runners and Zach Charbonnett and the Large recipient Jaxson Smith-Migba to build.
For the Steelers, their next great acquisition will be their quarter-arre for the 2025 campaign.
Last season, it was time to separate from Justin Fields and Russell Wilson, the latter, who is rehabilitated by injury and received his job of departure. Head coach Mike Tomlin has once again led his team to a place in playoffs despite poor offensive production, although it did not last long with an outing of Wild Card Round.
With Metcalf, 27 years old, locked up for the years to come, as well as other solid talents in attack, the Steelers hope to lock a signator very soon. Wilson and Fields are available as well as other free agent options such as Sam Darnold, Jameis Winston and Aaron Rodgers, which should be published by Jets on March 12 when the new year of League starts.

During its sixth season of the NFL last year, Metcalf collected 66 catches (108 targets) for 992 yards with five affected in 15 games (12 departures).
Metcalf totaled three seasons of 1,000 yards during his career and the two -figure -touch campaigns in 2020 and 2021.
