Title: NGT: DK Metcalf traded to the Steelers

I have to believe that means they're keeping Russell.

If Rodgers goes to the Seahawks

That leaves Fields still out there.

5 year 150 million. That's insane but let's see the guaranteed $$.

What a weird move. I would understand shelling out for him if they were set at QB, but they aren't. Russell isn't it, Fields isn't it, and Darnold probably can't be it either.

So now you've got a lame duck QB whose leadership can't be taken seriously, plus two top receivers with attitude problems fighting over the ball. Days of Our Steelers, season two.

Trade was for a 2nd rd pick

And a swap of 6th and 7th rounders I believe.

I don't get this trade.  Steelers have QB issues and Metcalf wanted to play with a young, established QB, not a merry go round of QBs on the decline.

Steelers definitely addressed a need, they now have a good tandem with Metcalf and Pickens.  Not sure which direction they are going in terms of QB, but its probably easier to sell a QB on the team when you add Metcalf. 

Bigger contract than I would have guessed, but without seeing guarantees the true value is unknown.

Perfect spot for Aaron Rodgers.

Just as long as he doesn't come here.
