The news was rather exciting Sunday night that the Pittsburgh Steelers had traded for star wide receiver DK Metcalf and handed him a five-year, $150 million extension, making him among the highest-paid NFL receivers.
The Steelers finally landed the big-name receiver they’d been chasing for the last calendar year. The only problem? Who’s going to throw him the ball?
Pittsburgh preferred to move forward with Justin Fields as its starting quarterback, but he agreed to a two-year deal with the New York Jets for $40 million, including $20 million guaranteed. That has left the Steelers with limited options at quarterback.
