How will the Steelers’ trade for DK Metcalf look five years from now?
In a rare blockbuster trade for the Steelers, they acquired WR DK Metcalf this week, at quite the cost. In addition to giving up their second-round pick, they also signed Metcalf to a five-year, $150 million deal. At $30 million per season, it’s the largest non-quarterback contract in team history. At least it will be until T.J. Watt signs an extension, the bar raised to $40 million per year.
But this isn’t about Watt, of course. This is about the Steelers and their gamble to address the wide receiver position with DK Metcalf.
