Former Ole Miss wide receiver and current Seattle Seahawk wide out DK Metcalf have come to an agreement for a contract extension.
Metcalf and the Seahawks signed a three-year extension on Friday worth a total of $72 million.
Last season, Metcalf pulled in 75 receptions for 967 yards and 12 touchdowns. He was drafted by Seattle in 2019. Over the past three seasons, Metcalf has recorded a total of 216 receptions for 3,170 yards and 84 touchdowns while in the League.
