Seahawks GM Reveals Why DK Metcalf Was Traded to Steelers
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf speaks at a press conference about his contract signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex, Thursday, March 13, 2025 in Pittsburgh, PA. (Alysa Rubin / Pittsburgh Steelers) Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider provided in-depth details in a recent interview on why the Pittsburgh Steelers were the trade partner for All-Pro wide receiver DK Metcalf. It came down to the Steelers being super aggressive. The Steelers brass really wanted Metcalf in the Black and Gold. 'Pittsburgh, Omar (Khan), those guys were really aggressive,' Schneider said on the 3 & Out Podcast. 'In regards to DK, we had a ton of conversations last offseason about his legacy and where he wanted to go. Once he met the new coaching staff, he was excited. And then this year, it just happened, and again, you can't change the way people think. As much as we love him and want to have him here when people want to leave, it's difficult to try to convince them to stay. Once we got back from the Combine, we had another real open talk. Then we told him we would concede to his wishes. No promises, but we'll see where it goes.' As part of the deal, Pittsburgh also gave Metcalf a massive five-year, $150 million contract. Schneider revealed in an interview with Rich Eisen in May that Metcalf's trade request was never about money. Advertisement 'No, it really wasn't [salary-related]. It was interesting because it wasn't like animosity, either. It was like, he really, really wanted a fresh start,' Schneider said. 'And it's not like we went into the offseason thinking this would be a possibility, but he was just pretty dug into it. So it ended up working out for both clubs, working out for us and working out for Pittsburgh. We wish him the best. He's a great guy and obviously a high-end competitor.' The Steelers were more than happy to be on the other side of the deal. They're getting a 27-year-old wide receiver who has never had less than 900 yards and five touchdowns in each of his first six seasons. The acquisition of Metcalf also allowed Pittsburgh to move on from wide receiver George Pickens, who brought his fair share of on- and off-the-field distractions over the past three years. So while the Steelers wide receiver room may look about the same as last season, they are feeling much better about the make up of it heading into 2025.

(AP Photo/Lindsey Wasson) Metcalf's 6-foot-4, 235-pound frame was the biggest attraction to the Steelers. Advertisement 'Size. He [DK Metcalf] did a press conference, right? Yeah. I mean, you saw him. He's a playmaker. I'm really enjoying getting to know him,' Steelers general manager Omar Khan said at the NFL owners meetings in March. 'I think you guys will too. He has a desire to win and be great, and I love that about him, and I am just excited about what he's going to bring to the club.' Khan said Metcalf was aware of the Steelers' plans at quarterback and was on board before signing his five-year, $150 million deal with the team. 'We had a lot of conversations,' Khan said. 'He had conversations with the coaches and myself about the roster and the team, and we had some candid conversations, and he knew what our plans were. It's still all coming together.' Of course, after nearly a three months wait, Aaron Rodgers signed with the Steelers in early June. Advertisement The All-Pro wide receiver is chomping at the bit to learn from the four-time NFL MVP quarterback. 'Just how cerebral he is and how he views the game,' Metcalf said. 'I like the way he views the game from a receiver's standpoint, but also from a quarterback's standpoint. I think I can gain a lot of knowledge just from being around him because he's seen a lot of football. Just trying to soak up as much information as I can.' DK Metcalf believes Rodgers' skillset fits his game perfectly. 'How quickly he releases the ball and me getting off the line of scrimmage fast is one thing that stands out first,' he said.

CAPITOL ROUNDUP: State officials highlight vital role SNAP plays in supporting the economy
Jun. 22—WILKES-BARRE — Pennsylvania Department of Human Services Secretary Val Arkoosh and Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding joined leadership from Feeding Pennsylvania and the Central PA Food Bank this week to discuss the importance of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. The discussions come amid federal proposals that would take food assistance away from at least 140,000 Pennsylvanians and significantly alter the program, costing the state over $1 billion more annually and jeopardizing the program's sustainability. Governor Josh Shapiro has made clear that Pennsylvania cannot backfill these costs. While SNAP helps nearly two million people in all communities of our Commonwealth purchase food for themselves and their families, SNAP participation rates are higher in rural areas than in urban or suburban areas. Children and older adults represent more than half of Pennsylvanians helped by the SNAP program, and the program also allows lower-income working families and people with disabilities to keep food on their tables. "SNAP helps people meet one of our most essential needs — allowing them to participate fully in work and school and live healthier," said Arkoosh. "Should these proposals to change SNAP become law, vulnerable children, people with disabilities, older Pennsylvanians, and many others would see their access to food at risk and will further destabilize our agricultural economy and workforce during a tumultuous time." Every month, SNAP brings more than $365 million in cash benefits that can only be used on food — supporting local businesses, food producers, and Pennsylvania's agricultural economy. "Farmers receive nearly a quarter of every dollar Pennsylvania families spend on groceries, whether those dollars are from SNAP or any other source," Redding said. "Most of Pennsylvania's 48,800 farms are family-run. Losing SNAP dollars would hit Pennsylvania's farm families as well as the families of the 12,000 people working in the grocery industry whose jobs are directly supported by monthly SNAP spending." Congress is currently in the midst of a budget reconciliation process that is seeking to make major cuts to federal programs — primarily Medicaid and SNAP. The bill still needs to pass the U.S. Senate and be signed into law, so there are currently no changes to SNAP. Rep. Meuser co-sponsors SAFE Cities Act U.S. Rep. Dan Meuser, R-Dallas, co-sponsored H.R. 3894 — the Stop Anarchists From Endangering (SAFE) Cities Act — this week. The legislation would ensure federal resources support jurisdictions that maintain law and order and take reasonable steps to protect their residents. The SAFE Cities Act directs the Attorney General to identify "anarchist jurisdictions" — defined as state or local governments that prevent law enforcement from restoring order, reject federal assistance, defund or disempower their police, or otherwise fail to respond to widespread violence and property destruction. Jurisdictions identified as such would face restrictions on certain categories of federal funding. The legislation codifies a Presidential Memorandum issued by President Trump during his first term to restrict federal funding from jurisdictions that tolerate lawlessness and undermine public safety. Meuser said this legislation was introduced following recent incidents in Los Angeles where protests against federal immigration enforcement escalated into violent riots. Demonstrators attacked federal law enforcement officers with rocks and Molotov cocktails, vandalized federal buildings, set vehicles ablaze and attempted to obstruct immigration enforcement efforts. To restore order in Los Angeles, Meuser said President Trump authorized the deployment of National Guard troops. Despite these efforts to restore public safety, California Gov. Gavin Newsom filed a lawsuit to end the federalization of the National Guard. "The SAFE Cities Act is a crucial piece of legislation that puts the safety and security of our communities first," said Rep. Meuser. "We cannot allow public safety to take a backseat to political ideology. This bill ensures federal support goes to communities that protect their citizens, support their law enforcement, and take appropriate action in the face of violence. Our constituents — and the law enforcement officers who serve them — deserve no less." This bill was referred to the House Judiciary Committee for consideration. Bipartisan resolution condemns antisemitic violence U.S. Sen. Dave McCormick, R-Pittsburgh, and U.S. Sen. John Fetterman, D-Braddock, introduced S. Res. 288 this week. The bipartisan resolution condemns the horrific rise in violent antisemitic attacks across the country. Citing the attempted murder in Boulder, Colorado, the arson attack on the Pennsylvania Governor's residence, and the tragic murder of two Israeli embassy staffers outside the Capitol Jewish Museum, Sen. McCormick and Sen. Fetterman, along with 34 of their colleagues, remain unified in denouncing anti-Jewish hatred. "Antisemitism has no place is America," said McCormick. "Since October 7, 2023, the Jewish community has faced unprecedented and persistent antisemitic hate and violence. This hatred cannot stand. Living in Squirrel Hill, right around the corner from the site of the devastating Tree of Life Synagogue attack in 2018, really brings this issue home for me. Protecting my friends and neighbors, and all Jewish people across the country, must be a national priority." "Amid a despicable rise in antisemitism, we are starkly reminded that silence is complicity," said Fetterman. "These appalling attacks on our Jewish communities are not isolated events. After 11 lives were stolen at the Tree of Life massacre in 2018, I've felt an even stronger moral obligation to confront antisemitism wherever it appears and stand united against hate." U.S. Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ) introduced the House of Representatives companion to this resolution. Reach Bill O'Boyle at 570-991-6118 or on Twitter @TLBillOBoyle.

Stewartstown residents share opposition to MARL transmission line
Jun. 21—dbeard @ MORGANTOWN — Stewartstown-area residents gathered at the community building Saturday afternoon to learn about and share their concerns about the NextEra Energy Transmission MidAtlantic Resiliency Link project. "This is a raising local awareness effort here today, " said Kent Hunter, who lives on the next hill over from the community center. "We probably can't stop this but we can maybe impact where the route eventually ends up." MARL, as it's called, is a proposed transmission project to build a new 105-mile 500-kilovolt transmission line stretching from Greene County, Pa., to Frederick County, Va. Depending on the route selected, it could pass through Monongalia and Preston counties, along with Hampshire County and Mineral counties, Allegany Garrett county in Maryland and Fayette County in Pennsylvania. The project also consists of building a new 500 /138-kV substation in Frederick County, Va. Hunter was one of four speakers to address the residents. He said he learned about MARL in December after NextEra met with the Monongalia County Commission. He was among the landowners on the possible local routes who received a postcard from NextEra in February. Concerned, he contacted former Delegate Barbara Evans Fleischauer and Delegate Evan Hansen, and they got involved in the awareness-and-opposition effort. Among the concerns Hunter and others cited is, who pays for this. "It just takes away our land, " he said. "It doesn't help us in any way at all that we can find." And it will likely decrease property values of those whose land it crosses. At a May open house, NextEra's Kaitlin McCormick answered a question from The Dominion Post about the expected local benefits. She cited three: reliable power ; the opportunity for high-demand customers to interconnect ; and local tax revenue — $50 million to $100 million over the 40-year life of the project. Residents remain skeptical, though. Speakers several times cited a study by Cathy Kunkel, energy consultant at the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis, that indicates West Virginia ratepayers will pay more than $440 million in increased electricity rates over the next 40 years for MARL and the related Valley Link Transmission line that is planned to run from the John Amos plant in Putnam County eastward to Frederick County, Md. PJM Interconnection, the regional 13-state power grid operator, selected MARL and Valley Link, among a number of projects, based on its long-range Regional Transmission Expansion Plan, to address reliability issues associated with loss of power generation sources, support for new power sources and additional electricity demand in the region. Public perception — echoed in Kunkel's report — ties much of that new demand to data centers in Virginia. Fleischauer, one of the speakers, said there's not enough local benefit to justify the rate hikes. "We don't see the value in being a pass through." Speaker Rachel Stevens, who lives just north of Bruceton Mills and whose neighbors are on a potential route, listed several areas of concern about the line. Along with diminished property values and higher electric bills, she cited possible environmental impacts along the route and the impacts on landowners who will be subject to possible eminent domain proceedings for the line's 200-foot right of way. Speaker Jim Kotcon, a retired WVU professor, explained some of the process ahead. After selecting a route, NextEra is looking to file applications with the state Public Service Commission and other state's regulators early this fall. A project timeline shows expected state regulatory approvals in spring 2027, start of construction in fall 2029, completion by fall 2031 and lines in service by winter 2031. PSC has 270 days from NextEra's application date to grant or deny approval, he said, and any eminent domain proceedings to gain access to land would begin after that. He suggested four strategies to respond: take the best possible offer for the right of way (but don't be the first to agree because they get the worst offers); work to get the line moved to another route ; make sure the line avoids public lands (though this would affect more private landowners); or simply just oppose the line. Fleischauer continued that line of thought. "There's hope that we can do something about this, " she said. The key fight will be when the PSC is considering approval. And "not in my back yard " won't sway them. They will need clear evidence that the line won't benefit West Virginia. During a public Q &A session, residents cited some other concerns, including the effects on Cheat Lake recreation and business with new, big, unsightly power lines passing overhead. One lakeside landowner said, "It's very disturbing." There was a general understanding that landowners along all the proposed routes aren't going to want the line in their yards and will be opposing it. Fleischauer said, "If we are going to succeed, we are going to have to make the most noise." Another community informational meeting is set for 1 p.m. June 29 at Rexroad Auction in Bruceton Mills.
