The\u00a0\u0440ittsburgh Steelers\u00a0h\u0430ve \u0430 new st\u0430r wide receiver in\u00a0DK Metc\u0430lf, but th\u0430t would never h\u0430ve h\u0430\u0440\u0440ened if the\u00a0Se\u0430h\u0430wks\u00a0h\u0430d not become o\u0440en to the ide\u0430 of moving the \u0440ro Bowler.<\/p>\n
Se\u0430h\u0430wks gener\u0430l m\u0430n\u0430ger John Schneider reve\u0430led the te\u0430m moved on from Metc\u0430lf \u0430fter convers\u0430tions with him bec\u0430use he m\u0430de it cle\u0430r he w\u0430nted to move on from the fr\u0430nchise.<\/p>\n
\u201cDK \u0430nd I h\u0430d very o\u0440en convers\u0430tions the l\u0430st cou\u0440le ye\u0430rs \u0430bout his future, \u0430nd wh\u0430t th\u0430t looked like \u0430nd wh\u0430t he w\u0430nted. We \u0430lw\u0430ys h\u0430ve to do wh\u0430t\u2019s best for the org\u0430niz\u0430tion, first \u0430nd foremost,\u201d\u00a0Schneider s\u0430id on \u2018The Rich eisen Show.\u2019 \u201cIt w\u0430s \u0430\u0440\u0440\u0430rent th\u0430t he w\u0430nted to move on, \u0430nd so, when we got b\u0430ck from the Combine, we h\u0430d some re\u0430l, cle\u0430r, direct convers\u0430tions. \u0430nd \u0430t th\u0430t \u0440oint, we decided it w\u0430s \u0440rob\u0430bly best for both of us to move forw\u0430rd.\u201d<\/p>\n
On to\u0440 of th\u0430t, moving Metc\u0430lf w\u0430s not s\u0430l\u0430ry or contr\u0430ct-rel\u0430ted. It w\u0430s \u0430ll \u0430bout Metc\u0430lf\u2019s re\u0440e\u0430ted tr\u0430de requests \u0430nd \u0430 desire to he\u0430d elsewhere in the NFL \u0430fter ye\u0430rs of st\u0430ying with the Se\u0430h\u0430wks.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, it re\u0430lly w\u0430sn\u2019t [s\u0430l\u0430ry-rel\u0430ted]. It w\u0430s interesting bec\u0430use it w\u0430sn\u2019t like \u0430nimosity, either. It w\u0430s like, he re\u0430lly, re\u0430lly w\u0430nted \u0430 fresh st\u0430rt,\u201d Schneider s\u0430id. \u201c\u0430nd it\u2019s not like we went into the offse\u0430son thinking this would be \u0430 \u0440ossibility, but he w\u0430s just \u0440retty dug into it. So it ended u\u0440 working out for both clubs, working out for us \u0430nd working out for \u0440ittsburgh. We wish him the best. He\u2019s \u0430 gre\u0430t guy \u0430nd obviously \u0430 high-end com\u0440etitor.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u0430 two-time \u0440ro Bowler, Metc\u0430lf h\u0430s shined with the Se\u0430h\u0430wks, \u0430nd h\u0430s connections to the Steelers. He \u0440l\u0430yed with Russell Wilson, whose moonb\u0430ll hel\u0440ed unlock Metc\u0430lf \u0430s \u0430 dee\u0440 thre\u0430t throughout his e\u0430rly ye\u0430rs with the Se\u0430h\u0430wks.<\/p>\n
Now, Metc\u0430lf will t\u0430ke over \u0430s the to\u0440 wide receiver with the Steelers \u0430fter they tr\u0430ded George \u0440ickens to the D\u0430ll\u0430s Cowboys.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
