Trade Rumors Surround Seahawks' D.K. Metcalf

As the NFL trade deadline approaches on November 5, speculation around the Pittsburgh Steelers potentially acquiring Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf is intensifying. Despite interest from the Steelers and recruitment efforts by kick returner Cordarrelle Patterson, ESPN's Adam Schefter suggests that a trade is unlikely, noting he has heard nothing concrete about the possibility. Metcalf, currently sidelined with an MCL injury, has been a key player for the Seahawks but could be overshadowed by the emergence of Jaxon Smith-Njigba. The Steelers, looking to enhance their receiving corps, have been linked to several other targets but have yet to secure any major names. With their playoff hopes on the line, they are keen to bolster their offense but may have to settle for less prominent options. The tight NFC West standings make it improbable that Seattle will part with Metcalf, especially given their current competitive situation.
