Marshawn Lynch suggests DK Metcalf was close to joining Raiders

Looking beyond the Las Vegas Raiders, one of the most noteworthy offseasons in 2025 came from the Pittsburgh Steelers.

With the hopes of getting back to the NFL’s elite, the Steelers made several key moves, most notably signing former Green Bay Packers and New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers to replace the duo of Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. Prior to that, however, Pittsburgh made waves by trading first and seventh-round picks to the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for former All-Pro wide receiver DK Metcalf. The Steelers were far from the only team interested in Metcalf, however, with the Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Chargers having connections that made a trade sensible.
