Mike Florio: DK Metcalf Trade ‘Raises The Stakes’ For Steelers’ QB Search

The Pittsburgh Steelers made a massive move this offseason, but it didn’t come in free agency. Before the legal tampering period opened, the Steelers traded for wide receiver DK Metcalf. Although the Steelers had a glaring need at receiver, it was still a surprising move. They aren’t usually involved in deals like this. Metcalf is a great player, though, so he should improve their offense. However, they still don’t have a quarterback, which might limit Metcalf. Mike Florio believes that trade has made the Steelers’ quarterback search even more important.

“Now the Steelers, paying him $30 million a year on a five-year deal, they have an obligation to get more out of DK Metcalf, and right now, QB1 is Mason Rudolph,” Florio said Friday on his Pro Football Talk podcast.
