In 2024, the 27-year-old Metcalf caught 66 catches for 992 yards and five touchdowns in 15 games (12 starts), just missing his fourth career 1,000-yard receiving season.
His career-high 1,303 in 2020 was followed by 1,000 in 2020, 2022, and 2023.
The two-time Pro Bowl selection has spent six seasons with the Seahawks, who selected him in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft, and has 438 receptions for 6,324 yards and 48 touchdowns in 97 career games (93 starts).
Unless the Steelers opt to trade for George Pickens, Pittsburgh may start the following season with two excellent receivers in Metcalf and Pickens.
With Metcalf’s transfer following the release of veteran receiver Tyler Lockett and the trade of quarterback Geno Smith to the Las Vegas Raiders, the offseason has already heralded major upheaval in Seattle.
