In a bold and exciting move, the Pittsburgh Steelers have secured star wide receiver DK Metcalf in a trade with the Seattle Seahawks. The deal, which was finalized on March 9, 2025, sends the Steelers’ 2025 second-round pick (52nd overall) and a seventh-round pick (223rd overall) to Seattle in exchange for Metcalf and the Seahawks’ sixth-round pick (185th overall) in the 2025 NFL Draft. This trade marks a significant shift in Pittsburgh’s offensive plans, as they look to add more firepower to their passing game.
Metcalf, 27, joins the Steelers with a stellar resume. Over his six seasons with Seattle, he racked up impressive numbers: 438 receptions for 6,324 yards and 48 touchdowns. Known for his incredible speed and athleticism, Metcalf has been a constant threat on the field, posting three seasons with over 1,000 receiving yards. His ability to stretch the field and make big plays earned him two Pro Bowl selections (2020 and 2023).
Metcalf expressed excitement about joining the Steelers and working with head coach Mike Tomlin. He recalled how their positive interactions at the 2019 NFL Combine left a lasting impression on him, and he believes Pittsburgh is the perfect place for his next chapter. The Steelers’ commitment to winning and building a competitive team helped sway his decision to make the move.
The acquisition of Metcalf gives the Steelers an elite receiver who can complement the rising star George Pickens. This trade also sends a strong message to the league that Pittsburgh is all-in on making a deep playoff run in the upcoming season. With a new weapon in Metcalf, the Steelers are looking to take their offense to the next level and challenge for a championship.
