The Seahawks had been open about shopping Metcalf in recent days, as it seemed increasingly unlikely the two sides would reach an agreement on a long-term extension before Metcalf hit free agency next spring.
The Steelers are rising as a contender for Sam Darnold, with rumors of a new deal set to be offered for the free agent QB.
Fields, however, remains the focus for Pittsburgh, Russini adds. Jets interest in Fields has built since the Combine, per ESPN.com’s Jeremy Fowler. The Steelers hold more than $63MM in cap space; the Jets check in at just more than $51MM.
She wrote on Twitter/X: "The Steelers are expected to make an offer to pending free agent Sam Darnold, per source. Many around the league believe Darnold will wind up in Seattle, but Pittsburgh is doing its due diligence on any potential options ahead of the new league year."
