50-minute mark on the fan brought to you by South Hills Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Route 19 in Peters Township. Fan weather brought to you by Meyers Lager, Pittsburgh's choice for affordable legal solutions. Rain throughout the day, but warmer on a high of Bud Dupree, 48. What's cooking brought to you by our local Geico rep, Tim Hester. Thank you, Mr. Hester. Very kindly.
One thing we really didn't talk about today. Well, it's this sort of bombshell story by Jonathan Jones. And just, Sean, if you could keep one eye out for Twitter, because I've had the experience at the last second on this show, the PM guys suddenly have this breaking news that happened at the end of the show. It's uncanny. So we'll keep an eye out for Metcalf suspension news.
Jonathan Jones, CBSSports.com, DK Metcalf suspension voids 45 million in guarantees. Now, here's what that means. First of all, If the suspension is upheld, he's already losing half a million dollars for what happened the other day. Now, Jones reveals that monies that were guaranteed to Metcalf each of the next two seasons because of a suspension of any kind through the league are null and void.
So what does that mean? Well, his guaranteed salary, once guaranteed of $25 million for next year, is no longer guaranteed. Obviously, he's going to come back next year, so that doesn't seem to be a big deal, assuming he's not, you know, God forbid, injured badly in a game here. But that's $25 million that was previously guaranteed. That's probably coming to him.
But as Jones writes, the voided guarantees are more important in 27 when $20 million in salary has been injury protected. That's no longer protected. So Metcalf's going to have to perform and stay healthy now to keep his money. All because of this. So... Man, his team better work hard to get that reduced to a non-suspension. I'll tell you that.
There is a hell of a lot of money on the line for him, potentially, in this situation. In the meantime, let's hear Tomlin on Miles Garrett. This was great stuff, if you have that, Sean. Do you expect Dylan Cook to get some help if Miles Garrett's on the other side? And how much help has he been getting in these last few years? Everybody gets help because Miles Garrett.
I just finished watching San Francisco tape, Trent Williams got help. And so certainly he's gonna get help, but certainly everybody has gotten help. And it had to slow down the train, he still got 22 sacks. I imagine most of those are not one on one plays. And so we're gonna do our due diligence, but we're not gonna act like or pretend that we're reinventing the wheel here.

Chapter 2: What are the implications of DK Metcalf's potential suspension?
We better put schematics around him. He better play well. And we better stay out of one-dimensional passing circumstances. And you still might not stop the bomb from going off. That's been how impactful this guy's play has been this year. So he's probably going to set this all-time sack record against the Steelers. I think that's a decent bet. I mean, what does he have to lose at this point?
He could just rush the passer every single play. And the other guy that Tomlin was very good on was Derek Harmon.
Chapter 3: How does DK Metcalf's contract affect his future earnings?
Sometimes you don't hear this kind of effusive praise directed toward rookies, but Harmon was an absolute monster in that game. Video has surfaced of him just throwing around Panay Sewell, who might be the best tackle in all of football. Harmon went Mean Joe Green, like early Mean Joe on him. Let's hear Tomlin's characterization of Derek Harmon. to run away from Cam Hayward a lot this season.
And in this game, when they did it, it seemed like you guys really stepped up, Keanu Benton, Derek Harmon. What have you seen from their efforts to improve in the run defense and where they act at the end of that effort? I've read some of the narrative about Derek Harmon and his run game exploits. And so I'm not gonna do anything to diminish that.
Maybe he is just the monster that the narrative says he is. That's great stuff. Maybe he's just the monster that the narrative says he is. He's looking like it. I'll tell you that. I mean, I wrote that day they would regret passing on Jackson Dart. The Jackson Dart story is starting to flop, maybe because they changed coaches.
And the Derek Harmon story is starting to get better and better and better. He is a monster. Thank you, Sean. And happy holidays to everybody out there. Merry Christmas. I'm going to not be here the next two days. Josh Roundtree will be here. And then I'll be back on Friday with my friend intern Dom. Usually things get pretty crazy when it's myself and Dom. That should be fun.
That'll be the PM show, by the way, on Friday. Talk to you then. See you, Sean. Thanks for everything. Happy holidays, Joe.
