The Pittsburgh Steelers expansive 2024 search for a wide receiver evidently included WR DK Metcalf. Trading for him yesterday was reportedly the end of a long pursuit, according to Fox Sports’ Jordan Schultz. And the team’s goal is to keep Metcalf and George Pickens a duo in 2025.
“This goes back to the trade deadline this past season,” Schultz said on FS1’s The Facility Monday morning. “This goes all the way back to then when Omar Khan, the Steelers GM, tried to make it run at DK Metcalf.”
A year ago, Pittsburgh explored every conceivable option for receiver help.
