Pittsburgh Steelers $132 Million Acquisition Named Among Best Offseason Moves
Pittsburgh Steelers $132 Million Acquisition Named Among Best Offseason Moves originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Omar Khan had an awfully busy offseason. In March alone, Khan made six new free agent signings, wasting no time trying to fine-tune a roster that has won 10 games in each of the last two NFL seasons. Advertisement The biggest splash of Khan's offseason was trading a second-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft to the Seattle Seahawks, acquiring DK Metcalf, who singed a four-year, $132 million dollar extension with the Steelers. Metcalf is one of the most physical and dynamic receivers in football and will immediately be slotted in as Pittsburgh's No. 1 receiver after trading George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys. Despite the prospect of a Metcalf-Pickens duo tearing up NFL defenses, the Steelers couldn't afford both. Pittsburgh still needs to find another capable receiver to pair with Metcalf. But in the meantime, the Steelers are being lauded for this move. Bleacher Report's Gary Davenport ranked the top moves of the offseason, and this deal made the cut. Regardless of who Pittsburgh's quarterback was going to be in 2025, it needed to upgrade at wide receiver, especially given all the smoke (which was correct as it turns out) that George Pickens' days were numbered in the Steel City." Davenport wrote. "Metcalf's 2024 campaign wasn't a great one, but he has three 1,000-yard seasons in six years and is the true No. 1 wideout the team was lacking before the deal. Advertisement Metcalf had a down year in terms of production in 2024, but still managed a great season. He hauled in 66 catches for 992 yards and five touchdowns. His touchdown mark was the lowest of his career. Metcalf has never had a season with less than 900 yards in his six-year NFL career. Acquiring Metcalf and signing him to a longterm extension took a lot to get done, but it should be worth the cost. The 27-year old will be the best receiver to suit up for Pittsburgh since Antonio Brown. Paired with veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers, Metcalf should be primed for a productive 2025. Rodgers loves targeting his No. 1's, especially showcased by his play for the New York Jets last season after they acquired Davante Adams.

Aaron Rodgers tied the knot 'a couple of months ago'
Aaron Rodgers is married. The 41-year-old NFL star - who has previously dated the likes of Olivia Munn and Shailene Woodley - confirmed during a press conference on Tuesday (10.06.25) that he tied the knot "a couple of months" ago, although he refused to share any further details about his wedding. Aaron previously revealed that he was dating a woman called Brittani. The sports star shared the news during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show in December. Asked about his plans for the festive season, Aaron replied: "There was one package left for my girlfriend Brittani that hadn't showed up yet. I was waiting on this to show up, it showed up today." Aaron subsequently opened up about his love life, laughing off the idea that he was dating pop star Britney Spears. He clarified: "Not Brittany Spears, no, this is Brittani with an 'i'." Aaron then confirmed Brittani doesn't follow The Pat McAfee Show and that she doesn't have a presence on social media, either. Aaron also admitted that he was very happy with his new girlfriend. Asked about being "in love", the Pittsburgh Steelers star replied: "It's a good feeling, boys. It is." Aaron shared news of his marriage shortly after Danica Patrick, his ex-girlfriend, accused him of being "emotionally abusive" during their time together. The 43-year-old former racing driver dated Aaron between January 2018 and July 2020, and Danica recently opened up about the circumstances surrounding their break-up, admitting that it was her most painful life experience. Asked to share the "most amount of pain" she's ever experienced, Danica said on The Sage Steele Show: "The break-up with Aaron in 2020. Because it was sudden, it felt like. "It was my life. So like when you live with somebody, it's your whole life. And because the nature of the relationship was emotionally abusive, so that wore me down to nothing." Danica recalled being "torn to bits" by the break-up. She shared: "People could never imagine that I would lack … any confidence or belief in the simple things about who I am. "Everything was torn to bits. Yeah, he leaves a trail of blood. I don't think I'm saying too much earth-shattering stuff, after we? There's been enough out there."
