    He may love it

    He doesn’t have to be a one man show

    I like it. A true #1 elite receiver.

    I don't feel that Pickens is going to handle it and ask to be traded. A 2nd is what I would ask.

    Metcalf and Pickens would be a duo for sure but this archaic offense won't allow for an air show.

    Plus with the contract they are giving Metcalf they sure as hell not going to pay Pickens that kind of money.

    Probably love it, this frees him up, teams can’t just focus on him now.

    Pickens should love this. He's putting up incredible numbers with an injured line, old QB and facing the opposing team's best. Now, he has help and a healthy line. This should be an opportunity

    Although RapSheet is reporting that Fields is priority #1 with Darnold and WIlson in play I would think they have to make a strong push for Darnold now.

    I disagree with the notion that the will trade GP, who are you going to find that will be better duo than DK and GP? That is serious talent and rivals what Darnold had in Minnesota.

    Only thing would be if they have there eye on someone in the draft they really like. Then maybe sign Fields and if he fails you have your draft pick.

    Tomorrow could be very interesting!

    Metcalf has never been elite. JJ in Minny is elite. Chase in Cincy is elite. DK’s a 2 being used as a 1. Steelers have to be getting Darnold to make this trade.

    I’m a little stumped as why we would want Darnold? One good year out of seven? He is still very suspect as we all seen at end of the year.
    I’ll be the minority here, hell to the no for Darnold.

    I absolutely despise Pickens so I’m no fan. However, If Pickens has half a brain cell he’d realize this Metcalf pick-up is only going to help make him all the better. Look at how good Ju Ju Smith S was when AB was playing verses when AB left. If Pickens finally gets his head out of his a** we could “maybe” be a real playoff contender now.

    Ugh... I hope we have a QB that can keep both him and Pickens happy, if not the team is in trouble.

    I really like the trade! Pretty excited about it, but the O needs some changes for this to be as much of a difference maker as it can be.

    Metcalf had 5 tds last year one (uno, 1 , zwei , uno) more touchdowns than our #4 receiver CA3 (4) last year

    He’s on a steady decline

    High price, but worth it.

    1. We need a proven commodity
    2. Best WR availble via trade
    3. Prevents us from being solely reliant on Pickens
    4. Salary cap increases will make this a steal if DK stays consistent.

    Fautanu coming back and moving Broderick to the left side is positive.

    Wow. Wild. Pulled me out of hibernation.

    I dont think he's washed. I just think JSN is that dude.

    DK is a stud.

    Who is gonna throw the balls though

    Step back from that craft brew cooler (toss me one first). I'd say Austin III was more the WR3 last year, but whatever. How many TDs has he averaged per year over his career? With Metcalf it's eight - which is how many he had in 2023, as opposed to the 6 in 2022, so I wouldn't say he was in steady decline.

    Also, Metcalf averages 77/1108 over a 17-game season. I believe Austin III is 26/364.

    In fairness, Gino Smith was throwing him the ball. I think Smith had something like 20 touchdowns all season last year (starting 17 games).

    Heck, even Wilson ended up with 16 touchdowns (in 11 games).

    I was reading the Ravens message board and they don't like this one bit. They were complaining about now having to defend not only Chase and Higgins but now have Metcalf and Pickens to defend twice a year. They are worried that the Steelers either sign Darnold or draft the young gunslinger Dart to throw the ball to our new dynamic duo.

    Well… that’s a swing for the fences for sure. I need to process this one. The 2nd round pick… OK. The huge rumored extension? Oof…

    If it were 12 10 8 6 5 we could talk steady decline.

    Also, do the receptions and yards not matter?

    And where's my beer.
