DK Metcalf is carrying the hopes of Steelers offense on his shoulders — but a former Seahawk claims he almost went to the Las Vegas Raiders instead of Pittsburgh.
On a recent episode of Da Get Got Pod, former Seahawks Mike Robinson and Marshawn Lynch joked with Raiders HC Pete Carroll about his pursuit of Seattle’s players this offseason. After Lynch teased that Carroll “tried to bring everybody up out that building,” Robinson chimed in with Metcalf’s supposed preference:
“I know,” Robinson said. “Remember, DK wanted to go there.”
Carroll served as the Seahawks’ head coach from 2010 to 2023 — and wasted little time trading for his former Seattle QB Geno Smith after becoming the new Raiders head coach this offseason.
It makes complete sense that Metcalf preferred a reunion with his former quarterback and head coach in Las Vegas, but the Steelers’ “really aggressive” trade package for DK was likely stronger than anything the Raiders offered.
