Steelers send 2025 second-round pick to Seahawks for WR DK Metcalf

Mar 09, 2025

The Steelers are sending a 2025 second-round pick to Seattle in exchange for WR DK Metcalf.

Pittsburgh will sign Metcalf to a five-year, $150 million extension, per source.

Related Players: Jaxon Smith-Njigba, George Pickens, Calvin Austin, Mike Williams

Fantasy Impact:

It was reported that Metcalf wanted to play "somewhere warm" with a competitive quarterback, and the Steelers have exactly zero of those things. Metcalf will battle Pickens as Pittsburgh's WR1, with Justin Fields possibly in pole position as the starting QB. Metcalf should be considered in fringe WR2/3 range.

Geno Smith is being traded to Las Vegas Raiders for a third round pick, per sources.

Related Players: Aidan O'Connell, Desmond Ridder, Sam Howell

Fantasy Impact:

We'll see where the Seahawks end up landing, but we can presume that the answer probably isn't Sam Howell. As for the Raiders, they now have a far more consistent option to bridge the gap to their future franchise QB.

Jaguars plan to release veteran WR Christian Kirk, per source.

Related Players: Brian Thomas Jr., Gabe Davis, Parker Washington

Fantasy Impact:

Kirk will look for new employment on an increasingly fertile WR free agent landscape after a disappointing 27-catch 2024 performance in which he logged only eight games. Brian Thomas Jr. is already appropriately earmarked for a WR1 season, but this certainly doesn't hurt things.

Two-time Pro Bowl WR DK Metcalf has requested a trade and the Seahawks have agreed to explore options.
.
Days before free agency, the 27-year-old Metcalf immediately becomes the top receiver available.

Related Players: Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Jake Bobo

Fantasy Impact:

There's no doubt there are plenty of teams that would be in the market for Metcalf's services, but it remains to be seen if this is a power move after Tyler Lockett's release or not. If Metcalf does end up leaving, JSN will absolutely rocket up WR rankings.
