Pittsburgh Steelers Win
Seattle traded WR D.K. Metcalf and a 2025 sixth-round pick to Pittsburgh for second- and seventh-round picks. Moving Metcalf ended a major offensive era and reset Seattle's receiver-room timeline. The return gave the Seahawks draft flexibility before a contract decision, but losing a rare physical WR1 without a proven replacement keeps the grade modest until the downstream picks mature. This deserves historic tier because of Metcalf's stature, even if the verdict remains incomplete.
