Last offseason, and continuing into the 2024 season, the Steelers were in a desperate search for receiver help. Their failure to find it really hurt them when George Pickens had to miss some time with an injury towards the end of the year.
Pittsburgh wasted no time this offseason finding a solution. Just before free agency began, the Steelers sent a second-round pick to the Seahawks in exchange for DK Metcalf and gave him a giant contract extension in the process. While Pickens is set to hit free agency soon, he’s still on the books for the 2025 season.
