‘I’m a Little Salty’: DK Metcalf Expresses Feelings After What Aaron Rodgers Did

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf and veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers both find themselves in new threads this season, embarking on new chapters of their respective careers.

Metcalf spent the first six seasons of his career with the Seattle Seahawks until he was traded to the Steelers earlier this offseason.

Rodgers, on the other hand, spent most of his career with the Green Bay Packers, where he won a Super Bowl, before joining the New York Jets in 2023. After missing the entirety of the 2023 season, his 2024 campaign was a significant disappointment, as the Jets won just five games. He signed a one-year deal with the Steelers in June.

Meanwhile, during training camp, Metcalf revealed his feelings regarding Rodgers’ behavior off the field.

 

An NFL reporter who covers the Steelers had the opportunity to interview Metcalf during training camp, where Metcalf opened up about Rodgers, claiming he hasn’t had the chance to play video games with his new quarterback, unlike some of his other teammates.

“Y’all should check with other people on the team. They got him to pick up the sticks before me. Offended is not the word. I’m a little salty,” said Metcalf. “But no, he’s a good dude off the field. Enjoy playing with him. Enjoy getting to learn from him off the field and just talking to him about life stuff. So, he’s a real good dude.”

Rodgers has all the pieces in place to flip the script from last year’s underwhelming performance, with Metcalf, his projected No. 1 target in 2025, having not posted less than 900 yards in a season since entering the NFL.
