The Pittsburgh Steelers have dished out a record-breaking franchise contract to DK Metcalf. Metcalf will receive a five-year, $150 million deal. With a one-year, $18 million deal on the cap already, Metcalf’s contract averages out to $33 million per year and is officially the biggest in franchise history.
The Steelers could dish out more big contracts this week, whether that is to a quarterback or a cornerback. That is expected to occur, and it is likely to be the most expensive free agency the Steelers have put together in the history of the franchise.
A two-time Pro Bowler, Metcalf has shined with the Seahawks, and has connections to the Steelers. He played with Russell Wilson, whose moonball helped unlock Metcalf as a deep threat throughout his early years with the Seahawks.

Paired with George Pickens, the Steelers hope to have one of the more dynamic wide receiver rooms in the entire NFL. Pickens is in the last year of his contract.
