In addition to ensuring a veteran presence by signing Slay, the Steelers acquired the Superstar DK Metcalf receptor and signed it with a lucrative five -year contract and $ 150 million at the expense of a second round of 2025.
Metcalf had a remaining year and $ 18 million in his previous contract and the agreement was agreed days after, according to the reports, they told the Seattle Seahawks that he wanted to be marketed.
After acquiring Metcalf and Slay, what Pittsburgh does in Quarterback is still a question. On Monday, the field marshal of the free agent Justin Fields reached a two -year and $ 40 million agreement, which includes $ 30 million guaranteed.
Pittsburgh combined fields with veteran field marshal Russell Wilson last season, since the two took shifts during the campaign.
The 25 -year -old fields appeared in 10 games and completed 106 of 161 attempts for 1,106 yards and five touchdowns. He also ran for 289 yards and found the annotation zone five times.
On the other hand, Wilson made 11 appearances, 214 ends for 336 attempts, and scored 2,482 yards for 16 touchdowns. Wilson found so much success in the race with 11 haules for 43 yards and two touchdowns.
Despite their collective efforts, the Steelers finished their season with a four-game losing streak and a 10-7 record before falling to the Baltimore Ravens in the Commodines Round.
