Ask, and he receives.
Days after DK Metcalf requested a trade and the Seahawks told him they would explore getting him one, Seattle reportedly agreed to send Metcalf to Pittsburgh Sunday for the Steelers’ second-round pick, 52nd overall, in the NFL draft next month.
The Seahawks and Steelers are also flipping their picks in rounds six and seven of next month’s draft in the trade first reported Sunday evening by ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
As part of the trade, the Steelers agreed to a new contract for Metcalf. It’s for five years and up to $150 million, Schefter reported.
The 27-year-old Metcalf was scheduled to enter the final year of his three-year, $72 million contract with the Seahawks. He was to earn $18 million in 2025 with Seattle.
The Seahawks are blowing up the offense.
General manager John Schneider has traded quarterback Geno Smith, to Pete Carroll’s Las Vegas Raiders, and now Metcalf in a span of three days. That has cleared $42.4 million in space under the 2025 salary cap for Seattle.
That vaults the Seahawks into the market for the top quarterbacks — the top anybody — in free agency that begins with the annual negotiating period starting Monday.
The Metcalf and Smith trades will become official with the start of the new league year on Wednesday.
