D.K. Metcalf's wish to be traded by the Seattle Seahawks has been granted. 

He's getting his big payday he wants, too. 

The Pittsburgh Steelers have reportedly sent a 2025 second-round pick to the Seahawks in exchange for Metcalf, per ESPN. They will also be swapping 2025 sixth- and seventh-round picks.

On top of that, ESPN reports the Steelers and Metcalf agreeing to a five-year, $150 million contract to keep him with the team long-term.

The Steelers already have one of the best deep-ball threats in the game with George Pickens in the wide receivers room, and he will now be paired up with Metcalf, who can be the same threat anywhere on the gridiron. 

Metcalf was searching for a new contract this offseason as he was entering the final year of his three-year, $72 million deal with Seattle. 

GENO SMITH REUNITES WITH PETE CARROLL, SEAHAWKS REPORTEDLY TO CHASE SAM DARNOLD

Last week, Metcalf requested to be traded by the Seahawks after having conversations about his future with the franchise that chose him in the second round in 2019. GM John Schneider noted taking calls from a bunch of teams after the news went public but that he would be making a deal that best suited his team, not Metcalf, for the future. 

Schneider has been busy revamping the Seahawks’ depth chart this offseason, as he also cut veteran wide receiver Tyler Lockett, defensive tackles Dre’Mont Jones and Roy Robertson-Harris, safety Rayshawn Jenkins and offensive tackle George Fant. 

And Metcalf wasn’t the only offensive star to be dealt elsewhere – his starting quarterback since 2022 was moved, too. 

Geno Smith was reunited with Pete Carroll after the Seahawks sent him to the Las Vegas Raiders in exchange for a 2025 third-round pick.

It’s a new-look Seahawks squad that has some good draft capital as well as young pieces like running backs Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnett and wide receiver Jaxson Smith-Njigba to build around. 

For the Steelers, their next big acquisition will be their quarterback for the 2025 campaign. 

Last season, it was time split with Justin Fields and Russell Wilson, the latter of whom was rehabbing from injury and was given his starting job back once healthy. Head coach Mike Tomlin once again led his squad to a playoff berth despite mediocre offensive production, though it didn’t last long with a Wild Card Round exit. 

With the 27-year-old Metcalf locked up for years to come, along with other solid talent on offense, the Steelers will be hoping to lock down a signal-caller very soon. Wilson and Fields are available as well as other free agent options like Sam Darnold, Jameis Winston and Aaron Rodgers, who is expected to be released by the Jets on March 12 when the new league year begins. 

In his sixth NFL season last year, Metcalf tallied 66 catches (108 targets) for 992 yards with five touchdowns over 15 games (12 starts). 

Metcalf has totaled three 1,000-yard seasons over his career and back-to-back double-digit touchdown campaigns in 2020 and 2021.

Ben Affleck says Tom Cruise “has nothing on me” when it comes to stunts — well, that is, if you count line dancing as a stunt.

While speaking to the crowd at SXSW on Saturday, March 8, Affleck revealed he spent “months and months” learning to line dance for The Accountant 2. “It was a stunt for me,” he joked. “Tom Cruise has nothing on me… in terms of line dancing.”

Affleck and the movie’s director Gavin O’Connor also revealed that a nude scene — that inevitably also involved line dancing — was ultimately cut from the movie. “There was a nude scene but we cut it. He practiced line dancing in front of the mirror,” O’Connor said before Affleck interjected, “It was a choice! I liked it!”

Affleck’s costar Jon Bernthal, also part of the panel, praised the actor’s work – line dancing and all.

'Best Review'? Ben Affleck Reveals What His Kids Think of 'Hypnotic'

“Ben’s a hero of mine. I admire him so much, because he’s equal parts beautiful person as he is a beautiful artist,” he said. “Making movies for me is usually knocking my head into a wall; I’m kind of hating myself. But this was very easy. It was very easy to work with him.”

In addition to his dancing skills, the actor has made headlines for his personal life. On March 5, a source close to Affleck and his ex-wife Jennifer Garner told Us exclusively that the pair, who divorced in 2015, are not rekindling their romance despite multiple photos of the pair appearing close and cozy.

The source described the rumors surrounding the exes as “ridiculous.” A second insider noted that Garner has been dating John Miller since 2018. “Everything is fine with John and Jen,” the insider told Us. “Those close to them haven’t heard of any issues.”

Where Affleck and Garner shine is as coparents of their three children: Violet, 19, Seraphina, 16, and Samuel, 13. In August 2024, a separate insider told Us, “Ben and Jennifer are friends, and they have a great coparenting relationship” and the pair have a “mutual understanding that their kids come first.”

“There’s a deep level of trust and respect between them,” the source explained at the time, adding that Affleck and Garner’s past has helped him through his own ups and downs with ex-wife Jenifer Lopez.

When it comes to his kids, Affleck has always shown they’re the people who are the most important to him. He and his son Samuel were recently out at a sneaker convention on March 3, when Affleck experienced a very relatable parenting moment. Samuel spotted a pair of sneakers he liked — only to find out they cost between $6,000 and $8,000.

“That’s a lot of lawns you gotta’ mow there!” Affleck commented before he added, “You like those ‘cause they’re expensive.”

DDG has accused ex Halle Bailey of not allowing him to see their son Halo.

“[B]een fighting to see my son for months now…,” DDG, 27, wrote in a since-deleted post made via X on Friday, March 7, as reported by TMZ. “shout out to all the Dads who try their best to be there. this s— sucks.”

Us Weekly has reached out to reps for both DDG (real name Daryl Dwayne Granberry Jr.) and Bailey, 24, for comment.

DDG spoke about the situation on a livestream shortly after deleting his X post on Friday. “I really feel like I’m a f—ing nanny at this point,” he said, per TMZ. “The nanny has been able to have my son more than me. And I don’t even know the nanny name. Like, it’s just not fair bro. So I have to come on here and I gotta do this s—.”

Halle Bailey and DDG's Relationship Timeline

The Little Mermaid star and her ex have had some difficulties coparenting in the past. In November 2024, Bailey called DDG out for allowing their son Halo, 14 months, to appear on YouTuber Kai Cenat’s Twitch stream without her consent. (Cenat has over 13 million followers on Twitch.)

Bailey, who had split from DDG the previous month, took to X to write that she did not “approve of my baby being on a stream” at the time.

“I wasn’t told or notified and I am extremely upset to have my baby in front of millions of people,” she said. “I am his mother and protector and saddened that I wasn’t notified especially when I am out of town.”

Bailey later walked back her comments, writing in a November 7 post via X, “Yesterday maybe I did overreact and shouldn’t have brought it here. I know that Halo is always safe with his dad. I just don’t like finding out with the rest of the world what my baby is doing. Thank u Kai for the gifts for Halo .”

Halle Bailey and DDG's Son Halo Has Cute Cameo in Rapper's New Music Video

DDG announced the pair’s split in October 2024, less than a year after Bailey gave birth to Halo. “After much reflection and heartfelt support conversations, Halle and I have decided to go our separate ways,” DDG wrote via his Instagram Story on October 3. “This decision was not easy, but we believe it’s the best path forward for both of us.”

He added, “Despite changes in our relationship, our love for each other remains deep and true. We are still best friends and adore each other. As we focus on our individual journeys and our roles as coparents, we cherish the bond we’ve built and the beautiful moments we shared.”

14 Kaftans That Give Major ‘White Lotus’ Rich Mom Energy Under $50

• Shailesh Chauhan shares strategies that helped him grow his career growth across Big Tech companies.
• He emphasizes saying no to your managers and resisting the urge to showcase how much you know.
• Overcommunication is crucial in fast-paced environments to ensure alignment and clarity.

This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Shailesh Chauhan, a product manager at Meta in the Bay Area. It has been edited for length and clarity. Business Insider has verified his employment history.

I began my career in civil engineering in India and moved to the US for a master's in the same field. While studying at the University of Illinois in 2011, I realized that software was driving a big chunk of innovation, and I wanted a career in tech.

I started taking coding classes and built my skills to the point I was hired as the first product manager at a small startup in the Bay Area. I spent five years at the analytics software startup and saw it grow from a company of 10 to one of over 1,000 employees.

I left the startup in 2018 and joined Uber as a product manager the same year. Two years later, I moved to Amazon and worked as a product lead for Amazon Web Services. In 2022, I made a career switch to Meta, where I work as a machine learning product lead.

Four strategies have helped me switch industries and scale my career:

1. Learn to say no

Saying no is extremely hard, especially as a junior employee. You tend to overwork yourself, which can be a risk to your reputation if you overpromise and then underdeliver because you took on too much.

Denying some requests can earn you more respect from your managers. It demonstrates maturity and strategic thinking because you don't allow yourself or your team to spend time on any random thing thrown at you.

I see it as my job to think about what are the biggest opportunities for me and what I want to say yes to. This allows me to carve out time for projects that are important and save my team's time.

One way to tackle this is by asking counter-questions about whether what your manager is asking will benefit the final product or the team. Another way is to list tasks you think are important and have high impact and ask your manager: "Hey, I understand that this may be important, but how would you relatively think about it?" Now, you can say no gracefully.

2. Be the dumbest person in the room

This is a strategy I first learned at the startup I worked at, where I was surrounded by senior leaders from Google. I was the first person hired on the product team, and I felt pressure to project what I knew about our product. But I found it more valuable to listen carefully to get a full picture of the company and product so that I don't fight over things I don't really believe in.

Since then, I have found it valuable to play the "dumb card" and ask as many questions as possible, focusing on questions that uncover insights for other people. It is tempting to show that you are knowledgeable and that you have experience, but that should come from your work, not your words.

Early in your career, being quiet can be hard because you feel the need to fill any silent moments in meetings and one-on-ones. It's OK to embrace the silence instead of saying something redundant. Listening intently helps you bring in fresh ideas, which helps you prioritize your long-term career development over the short-term wins at that meeting.

3. Focus on relationships beyond work

I focus on building personal relationships with the people I work with because good relations go beyond company and country boundaries. Also, I do my best work when I am surrounded by people I trust and enjoy working with.

I ask myself whether someone I am working with would want to work with me when they leave the company. If the answer is no, I try to work on that relationship so that it lasts beyond our day to day work.

4. Over-communication is key

Sometimes, people feel that they should not repeat themselves after making a point. But I think overcommunication is a feature and not a bug, especially in fast-paced environments where there are so many people and priorities, all working across multiple time zones.

So even when I feel like I risk sounding redundant, I choose to repeat myself because there are always one or two people who miss a message you send. I utilize different channels and make sure that everybody understands me and is on the same page.

• After losing my job, I wanted to use my free time to catch up with people.
• I was nervous on my way to meet a stranger who had been my friend on LiveJournal.
• Reconnecting made me feel 19 again.

On a Wednesday afternoon in August, I sat at my kitchen table and tried not to sound creepy. I was about to slide into the DMs of a stranger who was maybe actually a girl I'd known on the internet.

Reaching into the past is like operating one of those arcade claw machines in a dark room: you'll emerge either with a treasured artifact or empty-handed. Even if the Instagram account I'd found was the same Sarah I'd known on LiveJournal as "lonelypainter," a reference to Joni Mitchell's "A Case of You," I didn't know if she'd want to reconnect. Not everyone is as nostalgic as I am.

I only had to wait 10 minutes for my answer. "Hi! You guessed correctly! It blew my mind a bit to see the username 'heyromeo' pop up in my notifications! Wow. It's great to hear from you! How have you been?"

We fell right into talking about art again, encouraging each other like we had all those years ago when I knew her as a writer, and she supported my budding literary identity.

I decided it was time for us to meet in person.

We lived about 2 hours away

Now, Sarah was also a musician, and I loved her clear, delicate voice as I listened to her song clips on Instagram.

After losing my job at the end of September, I resolved to take chances and catch up with people while I had the time. Sarah and I had only lived about two hours apart for most of the past 20 years; why not finally meet up "IRL"? She loved the idea, and we picked a Sunday in November.

I felt nervous when the day came as if preparing for a first date. What if the virtual friendship we remembered fondly didn't carry over to the real world?

Jason Isbell, one of Sarah's current favorite musicians, played softly on the television as we drank tea in her cozy living room. It felt like hanging out, particularly in college, when being under 21 or too broke to go out, leads to talking, watching movies, or listening to music in dorms and first-apartment living rooms.

I felt like I was 19 again

In the 15 years since we drifted away from LiveJournal, I was still married, now with two kids. Sarah said she felt like she'd "lived many lives." I told her about my novel-in-progress and we discussed the essays she'd recently published on her Substack about recovery and sobriety.

Before I left, Sarah played a few songs for me on piano and guitar, a John Prine cover and some originals. I felt goosebumps as I heard "Room To Move," a song about leaving an abusive relationship with a defiant chorus of "And I don't ever miss you."

Time collapsed; I felt 19, 41, and all the years between. The project of reading my LiveJournal and seeing Sarah's comments on nearly every entry inspired me to look for her. It also showed me how many people come into and out of our lives over the years. Staying close to all of them wouldn't be possible, nor is it always desirable. But I feel deeply grateful for every connection I ever made, however fleeting or painful.

"From my writer's heart to yours," Sarah signed her CD for me. I drove home listening to the songs I'd just heard live, my friend's voice filling the car with warmth, and a plan to return in March to see her play again.
