Metcalf: 8 catches, 67 yards through 2 games; source suggests moving on.

Metcalf has eight catches for 67 yards through two games while making $33 million per year; the source calls him 'that bad' and suggests the Steelers should eat the $36 million dead cap hit in 2027 and move on if 2026 is another disappointment. He's been targeted 19 times with a 29.9 passer rating when targeted, and should see reduced targets in favor of rookie Germie Bernard and Michael Pittman Jr.
