Overview
- FOX Sports' Jay Glazer reported the team will not void roughly $45 million in future guarantees following Metcalf's two-game ban.
- Metcalf was suspended two games for an altercation with a fan in Detroit, and the appeal upheld the punishment.
- He will forfeit about $555,000 in game checks during the suspension, separate from the preserved guarantees.
- Contract language allowed Pittsburgh to nullify guarantees after a conduct-related suspension, but the club declined to exercise that option.
- Glazer said he obtained a security report tied to Metcalf’s prior complaints about the fan, with details still developing.
