Steelers keep D.K. Metcalf's $45M guarantees despite two-game suspension for fan altercation.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have chosen not to void $45 million in guaranteed money from wide receiver D.K. Metcalf’s contract despite his two-game suspension for an altercation with a fan in Detroit. The decision, confirmed by Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer, signals the team’s continued commitment to Metcalf, who will lose about $555,000 in game checks but retains his injury guarantees. The NFL upheld the suspension for unsportsmanlike conduct, though details of the incident remain unclear, with the fan denying use of racial slurs. Metcalf is expected to return for potential playoff games as the Steelers vie for a postseason berth.
