The Cleveland Browns will have to return to form in their secondary to defend the new-look Pittsburgh Steelers passing attack after landing wide receiver DK Metcalf in a blockbuster trade. The Steelers have been hunting a big-play receiver for quite some time.

Metcalf’s arrival, coupled with Pickens’ on- and off-the-field antics, may cause the Pittsburgh Steelers to be forced to shop their now WR2. If the Steelers do trade Pickens, look for them to sign another veteran once free agency starts or address the need in the 2025 NFL draft.

Metcalf should make Pittsburgh more appealing to the Steelers' next QB. He also gives the team significant leverage over George Pickens.
