Everyone is losing their minds over the blockbuster trade between the Seattle Seahawks and Pittsburgh Steelers for DK Metcalf on Sunday. The trade even caught the attention of retired Ben Roethlisberger, who’s now thinking about coming out of retirement to play for his old team.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have made a big move by trading for star wide receiver DK Metcalf from the Seattle Seahawks. In exchange, they gave up a 2025 second-round pick. Metcalf will now make $30 million per year with a $150 million contract, making him one of the highest-paid receivers in the NFL.
Ben Roethlisberger, who retired after the 2021 season, was so excited about the trade. He posted a video on social media wearing his old Steelers helmet, sharing how happy he was about the signing. He even made a fun proposal to the Steelers’ coach, Mike Tomlin.

In the video, the retired NFL star said, “Coach T, are you kidding me? DK Metcalf on one side, GP on the other. Muth working in the middle! I might need to throw my hat into the ring. If you are looking for a guy, then I might still have a couple of throws in me.”
Fans also share different reactions to DK Metcalf’s trade
The Steelers want to make their offense better, and getting Metcalf shows they are serious about building a strong team. Fans also think this trade makes the team better, though some have different reactions.
