Seahawks star wide receiver DK Metcalf is expected to sign a three-year, $72 million extension with Seattle, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The 24-year-old is guaranteed $58.2 million, the eighth-highest total among wideouts. He also reportedly will receive a $30 million signing bonus, which is the most for a wide receiver in NFL history.
The deal comes after extensive talks between team and player regarding an extension. He previously shut down rumors that he was being considered for a trade.
The fourth-year receiver is coming off a season in which he caught 75 passes for 967 yards and 12 touchdowns amid a tumultuous season behind center for the Seahawks.
