With the Seahawks, he and Russell Wilson combined to become one of the best deep ball tandems with Wilson\u2019s moon ball utilizing Metcalf\u2019s elite 4.33 speed.<\/p>\n<p id=\"H64FM3KE3JGVPMD5PGDXALVZ5Y\">Metcalf and the Steelers have agreed to a five-year, $150 million deal in March as part of his trade. That is the richest deal in team history, and Metcalf now becomes the bonafide WR1 for the Steelers.<\/p>\n<p id=\"PGJ3JOTB6ZAWRNOIUN3DJL25EM\">Bryant wants to see Metcalf go from someone who is among the top tier of wide receivers to the truly elite tier with players like Ja\u2019Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson, and others who pace the top of the wide receiver stat lists in the NFL now.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NFL legendary wide receiver\u00a0Dez Bryant, who was one of the best playmakers in the NFL during his prime, wants to work with\u00a0Pittsburgh Steelers\u00a0wide receiver\u00a0DK Metcalf, he posted&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":78684,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-78683","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
