Superstar wide receiver for the Seattle Seahawks, DK Metcalf, has reportedly agreed to a three-year, $72 million contract extension with the team this past Thursday, July 28, 2022. Clearly earning his multi-million dollar contract with all of his previous performances and accomplishments, the deal also withholds a $30 million signing bonus along with an additional guaranteed sum of $58.2 million; this specific signing bonus for an athlete in his position is claimed to be the highest-ever throughout the history of the NFL.
Initially drafted into the league as the 64th overall pick in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft, Metcalf has been a loyal Seahawk since his first day as a professional football player. The former quarterback for Seattle, Russell Wilson went on to congratulate his ex-teammate on his recent contract extension via his Twitter account. “Congrats @Dkm14! You deserve it all bro… Love you man, God is good!,” the current Denver Bronco posted.
