Yeah, this is one of the things I appreciate about JS, he's decisive, he doesn't bend. This kind of stuff, and that's including Geno can just drag on with other teams but with JS it's boom, that's solved on to the next issue. Look at Pittsburgh, they can't figure out their QB but they are trading for DK, go figure.
Demands were made, and the Seattle Seahawks didn't listen to anyone but themselves. Former Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf reportedly wanted to play in warm weather, have a more stable quarterback situation and be part of a contender as a result of trade. He also wanted to be paid like one of the best receivers in the NFL.
The latter item on that list was the only box checked on Sunday night, as Metcalf was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers for a second-round pick and a late-round pick swap.
Metcalf probably knew Seattle wasn't willing to meet his price point, and thus demanded the trade to apply pressure and potentially get himself paid. That's ultimately what happened, despite getting nothing else on his wish list.
It's clear that Metcalf and the Seahawks were far apart in multiple areas of negotiation, and the contract was probably the biggest factor. However, what point is there in paying a wide receiver $30 million per year when you don't even know who your quarterback is going to be in 2025? The Steelers don't seem to care about that part
