DK Metcalf TRADED to the Steelers! - 2025 NFL Free Agency Breaking News and Fantasy Football Outlook
I literally just got up from releasing my breaking news video talking about Devonte Adams signing with the LA Rams only to sit back down because I now have to tell you all about DK metf being traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers and we knew this trade was probably coming but I wasn't expecting it to be some random Sunday evening like tonight so let's go a and talk about it for a minute first off the compensation it sounds like from what I've read so far that the Steelers are giving up a second round pick and then they're also going to swap six and
seventh rounders with the Seattle Seahawks so the Seahawks are going to get a second round pick and they're going to swap the sixth and the seventh round as well coming up with the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Steelers get a new offensive weapon which is great because their quarterback oh that's right they don't have one right now and we'll talk about the quarterback situation here in just a second but DK is also going to be getting himself a new deal 5 years $150 million 33 million of it guaranteed but here's kind of the
interesting part DK metf said he wanted to play in warmer weather and he wanted to play in a more stable quarterback situation neither of those things are true about Pittsburgh so I'm not really sure what's going on with this deal here and it's great for this Pittsburgh offense but they don't have any running backs right now ni Harris is a free agent and Jaylen Warren is a restricted free agent you have Pat Fruth you have George Pickins and you don't have a quarterback now it sounds like their quarterback that they're trying to
resign is going to be Justin Fields there's been some talk that they're looking at Sam darnold as well but I can't give you any type of a fantasy outlook on DK metf if I don't know who the quarterback is going to be I mean he's probably going to be the wide receiver one in this offense and he's probably going to see more targets than George Pickins I would assume but not only do I not know who the quarterback is but we also have the man the myth and he's definitely not a legend Arthur Smith is the offensive coordinator who
has already shown us he doesn't know how to utilize Elite Talent in the NFL so needless to say as of right now I don't love this deal for DK matf because there's couple of things at play here that just don't sit well with me without knowing who the quarterback is and the fact that Arthur Smith is going to be the offensive coordinator I think right now we just have to keep an open mind as to what DK mataf could potentially be if you're in a dynasty League or anything like that I don't think I'm running out to try and trade him and if you own him
you certainly aren't trying to trade him yourself because you're not going to get anywhere near full value so let's give it some time let's wait for free agency to get rolling let's see if it's Fields let's see if it's Sam darnold I don't I know maybe they decide to try and move up and go for like Jackson Dart in the draft I don't think so I think it's going to be either fields or it's going to end up being darnold I don't think it's going to be Russell Wilson as far as the Seahawks go no Tyler Lockett although they could end up bringing him
back Jackson Smith njigba is going to see 972 Targets this season yes just came up with that number off the top of my head using analysis I love that there's going to be so many open targets for Jackson Smith and The Jig B however he still needs some help there because DK metf is one of the reasons why he was routinely open Tyler Lockett also helped in that area but we don't know who the quarterback in Seattle is either right now is it going to be Sam darnold there are they going to use a draft pick is it going to be somebody
else this is the best trade analyzation video analysis video that I've ever done before because I literally can't give you a whole lot of information because the trade was made with two teams that have no starting quarterback currently on their roster but oh you know maybe it's Sam Howell maybe I forgot that's how great Sam Howell is is I don't even remember that he's in Seattle I do remember because I've talked about it tin time so far this week I just wasn't thinking about it I but if it's Sam Howell that's great
I don't I don't really love that for Jackson Smith and jiga unless again they try to put some more offensive weapons around him no offense really the only other one right now so headliner Nation let me know your kind of initial reaction here are you on board with this trade are you kind of in the same boat where we really need to stay and we we just got to watch as the system develops and who's going where and what quarterback is going to be throwing the ball or do you feel good enough about it that you're all in on DK MAF right away
let me know down in the comments below and I swear to you listen I'm sick so I'm powering through this for all of you right now if there is another break news video that I have to do after this I am going to lose my mind if the NFL could wait for me to get a good night's rest hopefully feel better tomorrow I'll get back to you all but now I actually got to sit down and go through my mock draft again that was supposed to come out tomorrow because that's all screwed up now as well but hello iron Nation appreciate youall tuning in this video

Former Steeler reacts to DK Metcalf going to Pittsburgh, grades the trade
big NFL news day on the HQ the Buffalo Bills are rewarding NFL MVP Josh Allen with a new six-year $330 million contract with 250 million of that guaranteed that is the largest single guarantee in NFL history Josh Allen now tied to the Buffalo Bills through the 2030 season of course the bills still in search of their elusive first Super Bowl title in their franchise's history and for more on Josh Allen and the bills coming together on a new deal we welcome in our two-time Super Bowl champ Bryan mcfaden uh bmac Josh Allen
NFL MVP New Deal six years $250 million guaranteed what' you think when you first heard the news uh deserving deserving yes Josh Allen did not win the Lombardi rust but it's safe to say he's having the best year of his professional life winning the MVP and then having a record-breaking contract in terms of what he's done thus far in his professional career of the Buffalo Bills and it is deserving because before receiving this contract extension Russ I think he was 14th in Pay ranking at the quarterback position clearly underpaid
when you look at some of the more notable recent quarterback uh uh uh contracts we've seen over the last few years and things like that so clearly this was set up nicely for him especially when you look at what he did Brandon Bean has done a phenomenal job in rewarding the Homegrown players players that he's drafted along with you know players that are deserving and receiving contracts so this been a very very great it's been a good year for Josh Allen to say that not winning a Super Bowl tells you how great he's been
as a professional quarterback on the field and off the field as well engaged to be married as well to Haley Steinfeld the the actress uh Devonte Adams wide receiver formerly of the Raiders and the Jets in 2024 going to be with the LA Rams in 2025 Devonte Adams to the Rams on a 2-year deal 26 million guarantee how do you like the fit there yo Russ I love this move hats off to Les need and his staff in orchestrating and getting this done but I love this move and here's why we know they're ready to cut Tides with Cooper cup they're trying to
trade him but one thing we know for sure Cooper cup will not be a part of this Oran organization the Rams for 2025 so you got to go find a replacement for a Cooper cup like player Devonte Adams is him it's safe to say over the last three years Devonte Adams has been better than Cooper cup he's been more healthy than Cooper cup he's been more consistent than Cooper cup Cooper cup has been an outstanding player for the Rams but since that triple crown season in 2021 he's been injured and because of that he hasn't been able to give the said
production that we witnessed with him early in his career and that lies to the opportunity for him to be Expendable now you bring in a guy like Devonte Adams he's 32 years old kuer cut will be 32 in June but when you look at what Devonte Adams did a year ago right in 14 ball games over a thousand yards eight receiving touchdowns he found to be successful regardless of what was surrounding him in terms of the football atmosphere being with the Raiders and then being traded to the Jets so Devonte still has enough in the tank to be able
to give you great production and then when you throw that into the equation with who his quarterback is and the play caller and Shan McVey this will be a match made in heaven all right Devonte Adams to the Rams Josh Allen sticking around on a new big deal to the Buffalo Bills I got one more for you bmac and it deals with your Pittsburgh Steelers sending a second round pick to the Seattle Seahawks for DK metf who is expected to sign a new contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers and I think we understand how you feel about this
news I'm trying to keep my composure because for our viewers that are watching us I literally heard this when Russ read this to me so you got my natural reaction for a second round pick let's go Omar shout out to Omar right now I gotta send him a text right now Mike T as well great job because I can tell you this much when I talk to a lot of pburg Steeler fans that know me personally we had these phone conversation the same question was asked to me what are we doing what are we doing what's going on we've been
quiet we haven't made any moves I'm like yo I don't know just be patient patient is a virtue right be patient and then came the information that my guy Russ just gave me go ahead and get that second round pick Seattle you can have it come on DK metf I don't know who's gonna wear number 14 but that's between DK and George pickings I can care less I don't care anything about that we got a go get her to add to what we already have in terms of George pickings because this was an offense in the Pittsburgh Steelers R they lack Playmakers they
they lack Playmakers they didn't have that guy outside of GP that you really had to devote extra attention to and kind of monitor right now you gotta Scout DK you gotta give him extra attention and if you do that oh GP are you with me George pickings can go ahead and do outstanding numbers so that is the first major piece of this puzzle that they're putting together now they in Pittsburgh in terms of adding P Playmakers to the offense now you gotta go find a guy who could get DK metf the football and George piging the football
but right now this has been a great day already and you're just added more greatness to my Sunday my friend Russ of course it opens up the big question of who's going to be thrown on the ball as you mentioned but just on what you know what kind of grade would you give that deal DK metap to the Steelers A+ plus plus plus plus you heard it here first from the two-time Super Bowl champ of the Pittsburgh Steelers Mr Pittsburgh Steelers Brian mcfat be back thanks a lot man all right so since 2019 here's a look at the players with the most
receiving touchdowns in the NFL since 2019 Devonte Adams who's going to the LA Rams we found out about that on Sunday he's got the second most and there's DK meta who's going to the Pittsburgh Steelers for a second round pick in 2025 reported will sign a contract extension in Pittsburgh DK metf 48 touchdown receptions since 2019 amongst the most in the NFL in that time all more reaction to an absolutely massive day in the NFL news about Devonte Adams Josh Allen and DK medf and more we'll see this is CBS Sports h Q
