Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 2
Seattle traded edge rusher Darrell Taylor to Chicago on August 23, 2024, for a 2025 sixth-round choice that settled at No. 185 and was later moved again. The Seahawks recovered late-round capital from a player whose role was changing under a new staff. Because Seattle did not turn the pick itself into a major direct return, the value stays modest.
Trade 2 of 2
Pittsburgh acquired D.K. Metcalf and pick No. 185 from Seattle for picks No. 52 and No. 223 in the 2025 draft. Seattle's earlier row listed No. 52 twice; the clean return is one second-rounder and one seventh-rounder. Metcalf then produced 850 yards and six touchdowns in 15 games for Pittsburgh, giving the Steelers substantial immediate production alongside the sixth-round selection.
