The Pittsburgh Steelers made a big-time move by acquiring receiver DK Metcalf from the Seattle Seahawks for a second-round draft pick.
Metcalf reportedly will sign a five-year, $150m (£116m) deal with the Steelers. The teams are also expected to switch draft picks in the sixth and seventh rounds.
Metcalf requested a trade last week and the Seahawks agreed to see if they could grant his wish.

Watch this catch completion by DK Metcalf for a 35-yard gain...
Metcalf, 27, narrowly missed his fourth career 1,000-yard receiving season in 2024 by catching 66 passes for 992 yards and five scores in 15 games (12 starts).
He topped 1,000 in 2020, 2022 and 2023 with his career best of 1,303 coming in 2020.
The two-time Pro Bowl pick has 438 receptions for 6,324 yards and 48 touchdowns in 97 career games (93 starts) in six seasons with the Seahawks, who selected him in the second round of the 2019 draft.
Pittsburgh could enter next season with two top-notch receivers in Metcalf and George Pickens unless the Steelers decide to deal the latter.
Meanwhile, the off-season has already signalled significant change in Seattle with Metcalf's move coming after quarterback Geno Smith was traded to the Las Vegas Raiders and veteran receiver Tyler Lockett released.
