BuffaloBill Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 Would the Hawks trade Metcalf? This is a highly unlikely scenario for many reasons - salary cap, impact to Diggs and likelihood that the Hawks just don’t let him go are at the top of the list. However, there are some uncertainties regarding Metcalf future in Seattle. As for me, If the Bills could get him for a 1st and a 4th I would say do it all day long every day. Could you imagine the nightmare matchups created with Diggs, Metcalf and Knox in the game as your base set? You have all combinations of size, speed, route running, ability to play at every level and Josh heaving the rock. 1 8 1 Quote
Nextmanup Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) I would LOVE to get this cowboy. It's a topic for another thread, but incidentally, as a soccer fan, he is the perfect example of the American athlete I DREAM of some day playing soccer as a boy in this country. 6'4", 230 lbs, strong as a gorilla, and runs a 4.3 ???? Can you imagine this guy flying around a soccer field? The USA would never lose at the World Cup. If only our best athletes played soccer. Anyway, yes, get him on the Bills if at all possible. Make it so that opposing defenses simply DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH PLAYERS to take away our elite weapons! Edited January 28, 2022 by Nextmanup Quote
JerseyBills Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 Idk. I'd like to spend those assets elsewhere. Our QB just threw 9 TD in 2 playoff gms. I'm not worried about our WRs with Diggs Davis Bease and Knox already on the roster. I'd rather add an explosive RB to compliment Motor. 3 3 2 Quote
Billl Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 Why not just draft your own guy? Beane already gave up the pick that was used for Justin Jefferson to get Diggs. You want to give away another first rounder for the right to pay Metcalf $20,000,000 a year? At some point you’ve got to draft your own talent rather than overpay for the talent someone else found. 12 7 3 3 Quote

He isn’t a McDermott type of player. He gives up on plays, or puts in minimal effort. This year many of my local friends really soured on Metcalfs lack of effort at times. Personally I wanted him bad going into that draft, after watching his lack effort, I believe that to be big reason behind his slide. 1 3 3 Quote
BuffaloBillyG Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 No. I would not. DK is talented. No doubts about it. However, I like Davis. As long as they nail the 1st round pick this year we will need talented players on a rookie contracts going forward. I'd rather see Gabe hit his potential and add a 1st round talent to the roster with him. DK is a specimen. He's also getting ready for a payday. We also, as a team seemed to use our WRs on a matchup based game plan. There may be stretches where Metcalf isn't featured. Can he handle that better here then he reportedly did in Seattle last year? Can he keep himself in check? https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nfl.com/_amp/seahawks-wr-dk-metcalf-on-repeated-outbursts-i-ve-got-to-grow-up-and-continue-to 3 1 Quote

He’d be absurd in our Offense, but he seems like a dude who goes sideways the second there is adversity. At least that’s what he put out there visibly in Seattle this year. 1 Quote
Nextmanup Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 How about Diontae Johnson from Pittsburgh? They may be in a re-tool mode and maybe they'd be looking to wheel and deal? Until they find the next QB they ain't goin' anywhere... 1 Quote

He improved there a lot this past year. But in the playoffs, when it mattered most, he had some critical drops. With Allen's velocity, I don't like the fit. 3 8 Quote
Charles Romes Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 I really wanted to take a flier on metcalf in that draft as he was falling. Can you imagine the Freak to freak passing attack. 1 Quote
TheFunPolice Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 YES! What we're missing is a big target at WR, plus this guy is an athletic freak 1 Quote
BarleyNY Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 The fact that we’re talking about the 25th pick makes it tempting. The issues I have are that a) he’s apparently turned into a bit of a diva and headcase and b) he’s in the last year of his rookie contract. Zero chance I give up a first (plus a fourth) without a new contract in place. Then there’s a likely impact with Diggs too. He’s got a contract that underpays him relative to his performance and I doubt he’d be happy being the best WR on the Bills while also being the second best paid one. Also I’d have to be comfortable with him in the locker room. This one is nice to dream about but there are just too many obstacles. The only way I’d see it is if he was forcing his way out of Seattle and wanted to come to Buffalo specifically. Then we’d still need to get contracts for him and Diggs in order. 2 Quote
DabillsDaBillsDaBills Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 He's a great player, but no I wouldn't want to trade for him. We'd lose out on draft capital and have to give him a massive contract. If we're chasing after WRs I'd rather try to sign UFAs like Godwin or Adams. 1 1 Quote
Matt_In_NH Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 I think contract now and future needs to be strongly considered. The draft picks for the guy...sure np 1 Quote

Last year, he had 127 targets, 81 catches, and THREE DROPS. 3.6% drop rate, one of the best in the game. 2 minutes ago, DabillsDaBillsDaBills said: He's a great player, but no I wouldn't want to trade for him.

I'm happy to give up draft capital for proven studs in this league, as opposed to blowing the same capital on draft picks that turn into players like those on our DL right now. Or Tremaine Edmunds.
