DK Metcalf on leaving Seahawks for Steelers: 'The grass is greener on the other side'
DK Metcalf on leaving Seahawks for Steelers: 'The grass is greener on the other side'
While the Seattle Seahawks chapter of DK Metcalf's career is officially over and his Pittsburgh Steelers story is about to be written, the two-time Pro Bowl receiver broke down his exit on Marshawn Lynch and Mike Robinson's podcast, Da Get Got Pod.
Metcalf named a plethora of future Hall of Famers he appreciated, but made it clear he knew his time in Seattle had come to an end:
'I had a chance to play with some great players—from [Russell Wilson] to [Bobby Wagner], to [Marshawn Lynch], [Tyler Lockett] as well. I got a chance to meet some greats like Kam Chancellor, Richard Sherman—but you know, it's just time for me to move on. I think it's, 'the grass is greener on the other side.''
Robinson acknowledged that as a former Seahawks player, it isn't easy to hear Metcalf express a desire to leave—but he understands that the NFL is a business.
Metcalf is off to a historic start with the Pittsburgh Steelers already—contractually speaking, of course—and could be primed for a huge 2025 season if the team can finally solve its quarterback situation this offseason.

Steelers $132 Million 'Sweet Deal' With D.K. Deserves Brutally Honest Analysis
Steelers $132 Million 'Sweet Deal' With D.K. Deserves Brutally Honest Analysis originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The "insider'' truth about the NFL salary cap? Any of us can make the numbers dance almost however we wish. Advertisement A best example? The Pittsburgh Steelers made one of the most monumental trades in franchise history this offseason by acquiring D.K. Metcalf from the Seattle Seahawks for a 2025 second-round pick. Why "monumental''? Because it's also one of the richest deals ever given, too. It is, on paper, billed as a "four-year contract extension worth $132 million.'' So, do the math: That's $33 million APY, putting Metcalf in the very top echelon among the league's non-QBs. But ESPN's Dan Graziano is here to spin this in another direction, calling it a "pretty sweet deal'' for the Steelers. Why does he see it as what has come to be called "team-friendly''? Advertisement "This looks like a pretty sweet deal for Metcalf,'' he says. "But in the current galaxy of top wide receiver contracts, this one isn't so bad for the team. The Steelers will pay the 27-year-old Metcalf $35 million this year -- a $30 million signing bonus and a $5 million salary -- and $25 million in 2026. "After that, it's completely up to them. His 2027 salary of $20 million never becomes guaranteed ...'' That's all true. And it's also quite common for a "long'' contract to feature what we call an "escape hatch'' at some point before the seeming official length of the deal. So yes, because the deal is escapable even though it appears that the 27-year-old is contractual tied to Pittsburgh until 2030. ... in a sense this can actually be "just a two-year commitment.'' Advertisement But wait. Let's do some more math. Along with the trading for Metcalf, and the "four years,'' he also got $60 million guaranteed. So even in the unlikely event that this thing is a disaster, Pittsburgh is still on the hook for $30 million per year for 2026 and 2027. And if you look at the NFL's highest-paid wide receivers list, you see two things about Metcalf ... 1. Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase: $40.25 million 2. Minnesota Vikings WR Justin Jefferson: $35 million 3. Dallas Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb: $34 million 4. Pittsburgh Steelers WR D.K. Metcalf: $33 million 5. Philadelphia Eagles WR A.J. Brown: $32 million 6. Detroit Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown: $30.003 million 7. Miami Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill: $30 million 7. San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk: $30 million 9. Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins: $28.75 million 10. Miami Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle: $28.3 million One, he is presently listed as the fourth-highest-paid wideout in NFL history. And two, even in Graziano's generous view of "sweetness,'' if the Steelers unhappily dump him after two poor years, D.K. will still be in the top seven highest-paid guys. Advertisement So while ESPN insists "this is a nice deal for Pittsburgh,'' the truth is, it's only "nice'' if Metcalf either performs like he's around the fourth-best wideout in the NFL or like he's the seventh-best wideout in the NFL. And if Pittsburgh dumps him at age 29 in two years to save $26.5 million via that "escape hatch''? It's unlikely this will have been viewed as a "sweet deal.''

Early Mock Draft Urges Stunning Decision For Steelers Offense
Early Mock Draft Urges Stunning Decision For Steelers Offense originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Pittsburgh Steelers got younger in the backfield during the offseason, adding Iowa running back Kaleb Johnson in the third round of the NFL Draft back in April. Johnson joins Jaylen Warren as the team's top anticipated ball carriers in what should be a run-heavy offense in the Steel City once again. Advertisement In fact many of the reporters out of Pittsburgh through OTAs and minicamp have been glowingly positive with regard to Johnson. Given the physical limitations of quarterback Aaron Rodgers, the Steelers will need a steady run game to ease his burden. But one early mock projection for the 2026 draft is predicting the Steelers to gloss over Johnson and add another ball-carrier very early. Ryan McCrystal of Sharp Analysis has the Steelers taking Penn State running back Nicholas Singleton in the top 15. "There is no Ashton Jeanty in next year's draft class, but the 220-pound Singleton might be close with his blend of size and speed. His 41 receptions last year also proved he could be a factor in the passing game." Based on all the reviews of Johnson from Pittsburgh thus far, this seems awfully dismissive to a player who could have a major impact on the offense from the jump. But even in the scenario where Johnson has a letdown year, why would the Steelers use a first-round pick on a running back? Advertisement That's not to say Singleton will not be a talented prospect when the time comes. However, the Steelers' future in the backfield should be secure enough to hold off on those potential needs and address a more pressing position on the roster. Training camp and the preseason will provide the first samples of Johnson in action and the Steelers will get a true evaluation for their budding star. So for now, the focus rests on what Johnson provides and what him and Warren can accomplish this season. Related: Steelers $132 Million 'Sweet Deal' With D.K.

Former Steeler James Harrison drops the hard truth about Mike Tomlin's job security
Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin is a polarizing figure among Steeler Nation. For every fan who thinks he is one of the best head coaches in the NFL and should be the Steelers head coach for life, there's another who thinks he should have been fired years ago and this team will never win another Super Bowl as long as he's in charge. But how do players feel about this? Current players aren't going to offer much in the way of an opinion on it one way for another but former Steelers linebacker and legend James Harrison has nothing to lose so when he was on The Nightcap Podcast with Shannon Sharpe, he told everyone the truth that we all already knew but didn't want to say out loud. "Mike Tomlin ain't going nowhere," Harrison said. The only person can get Mike Tomlin fired is Mike Tomlin." This might come as a shock to some of you but this is the reality of being a head coach in Pittsburgh. This franchise has had only three head coaches since hiring Chuck Noll in 1969. Not every season under Noll was great, nor was it for his replacement, Bill Cowher. But just like when Cowher replaced Noll and Tomlin replaced Cowher, it was because their predecessor stepped aside and it wasn't ownership's decision to move on. There's no reason to believe the Rooneys won't extend Tomlin the same courtesy. If Tomlin strings together two or three losing season, we could see him deciding to step away and retire and say all the right things about it being the right time for him and the right time for the franchise and the Rooney's hands stay clean. If you are a Steelers fan who is hoping a bad season or two will prompt a Tomlin firing, you will continue to be disappointed.
