    Unlikely to happen unless they want to get rid of him.

    PFT reported the contract as 2/$60M with team options for remaining years. If they opt to keep him for next season (very likely at this point) that is $25M of the $45M reported. 2027 has $20 million injury guaranteed so only becomes relevant in the case of serious injury. A bunch of the other contract money is roster bonuses so only gets paid if he is on the team.

    Frankly, in this offense DK is a luxury the Steelers can't afford in any case.

    Parting with D.K. is essentially null and void not just from a cap savings aspect but a talent based one as well. There really isn't a Wide Receiver at present that can fully replace D.K. on the Steelers as it stands. Even if the Steelers do elect to draft one, in Round One, in next years draft, there is still going to be an adjustment period for said Receiver. If it isn't a Receiver and it is Quarterback instead, D.K. is, by default, a requirement for that QB to have as many weapons at his disposal as possible.

    Swann and Stallworth didn't play in an era of the big money contracts for receivers and there was no social media ;).

    Or you can do what the Steelers did. Decide you want to trade away your extremely talented but selfish, immature jackass. In advance of that, trade a second-round pick for another selfish, immature jackass, then dump the first guy for only a third-rounder. Be surprised when the new guy potentially tanks your season by getting suspended for two games for....get this....behaving like a selfish, immature jackass!

    Brilliant!

    Thanks brother! That helps a lot to understanding it's only going to matter if we tell him to go kick rocks.
