DK Metcalf
WR - Pittsburgh Steelers
2025 Outlook
Availability
DK Metcalf has signed a 5-year, $150 million contract with Pittsburgh. This comes minutes after the Seahawks traded away the Pro-Bowl receiver to the Steelers.
Fantasy Impact
The Steelers wasted no time in giving their newly acquired receiver a giant bag of money. The quarterback situation is still in flux, so Metcalf will just have to wait to find out who will be throwing him the ball in 2025. Regardless, he should form a nice one-two punch with George Pickens on the outside.
DK Metcalf has been traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers for a second round pick and a late round pick swap.
Fantasy Impact
Metcalf ends his Seattle tenure with two Pro-Bowl appearances, more than 6300 receiving yards, and 48 receiving touchdowns. The Seahawks are clearing house, having traded Geno Smith and now Metcalf, plus releasing Tyler Lockett. We will see a brand new Seattle team next year. For Pittsburgh, they now have a legitimate No.1 option alongside George Pickens that will greatly bolster a passing attack that struggled in 2024.
Seahawks GM John Schneider said the draft is the deadline to get a trade done surrounding WR DK Metcalf.
Fantasy Impact
Schneider added "if one comes together at all." It sounds like Seattle is still hesitant to trade the star receiver despite his request to be moved. This will remain a situation to monitor over the next month.
The Seahawks are reportedly seeking a first and third-round pick in a trade for DK Metcalf.
Fantasy Impact
Metcalf requested a trade on Wednesday and Seattle is starting with the asking price being high. The team trading for him will also have to extend him, so it seems unlikely the Seahawks will be able to acquire that much value for Metcalf. The Chargers and Patriots were recently linked to him.
The Chargers are one team to monitor revolving trade talks around WR DK Metcalf.
Fantasy Impact
According to Schultz, the Chargers were the one team that quietly but aggressively pursued Metcalf in trade talks. The Patriots have also been linked.
