DK Metcalf had no interest in joining the Patriots of New England this offseason.
Instead, the double receiver off the Pro Bowl joined the Pittsburgh Steelers via a Seattle Seahawks trade.

Metcalf played 15 appearances last season with the Seahawks and totaled 992 reception yards over 66 receptions with five affected.

The Patriots signed Stefon Diggs on Tuesday on a $ 69 million contract over three years, giving Maye a notable upgrade entering his second season.
