DK Metcalf officially requests a trade (UPDATE: He's a Steeler)

Still time to play out. I do wonder why Metcalf was not as good last year, he was the #2 receiver, JSN outplayed him and was the better receiver.

JSN got open because every defense the Seahawks play needs to shade a safety over the top to account for Metcalf's deep threat potential. DK stretched the field so JSN could get open underneath as the slot receiver. I don’t think JSN is a bad receiver by any means, and I am not comparing Metcalf and JSN to Randy Moss and Wes Welker, but the setup is the same. The slot guy gets pumped-up numbers because the outside guy can run by just about anyone if the corner doesn't have help.

Ugh. Steelers always end up with receivers. Ah well. Life goes on. Gotta turn to the draft now.
