Moreover, ESPN reports that the Steelers and Metcalf agree with a five -year contract of $ 150 million to keep him with the team in the long term.
The Steelers already have one of the best Deep-Ball threats in the game with George Pickens in the wide recipient room, and he will now be linked to Metcalf, which can be the same threat everywhere on the Gridiron.
Metcalf was looking for a new contract this season outside the season when he entered Seattle with Seattle the last year of his three -year -old deal of $ 72 million.

Geno Smith was reunited with Pete Carroll after the Seahawks sent him to the Las Vegas Raiders in exchange for a third round pick from 2025.
It is a new Seahawks team with a good sketch capital and young pieces such as Runneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnett and broad recipient Jaxson Smith-Njigba to build around.
For the Steelers, their next major acquisition will be their quarterback for the 2025 campaign.
Last season it was split with Justin Fields and Russell Wilson, of whom the last rehabilitated by injury and his runway once got healthy. Head coach Mike Tomlin again led his team to a play -off berth despite the mediocre offensive production, although it was not long with an exit of a wildcard round.
With the 27-year-old Metcalf locked up for years, together with other solid talent in the attack, the Steelers hope to lock a signal camer soon. Wilson and Fields are available, as well as other free agent options such as Sam Darnold, Jameis Winston and Aaron Rodgers, who are expected to be released by the Jets on 12 March when the new competition year starts.
