Seattle listening to offers on DK Metcalf

Well, if we couldn't keep Cooper involved in our O, how would Metcalf even play out?!?

Depends… are his wrists injured?

Pretty interesting.  The draft is in Green Bay so I imagine GB is not moving their first round pick.

 

The packers have picks 23, 54, 87, 123, 160, 200, 239 and 251

 

GB WR's Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Christian Watson, Dontayvion Wicks, Bo Melton, Julian Hicks, Cornelius Johnson

 

So I imagine the wr is Jayden reed and pick 54.

 

I guess it could be Romeo Doubs since they had some issues with him.

why would Seattle want to offload Metcalf. Is there some news I missed ?

[HappyDays]

So based on reporting, you have to come in and beat Green Bay's offer. That means a 1st, maybe a 4th, and maybe giving up Keon Coleman too (or Kincaid?) if it comes to it. He had his best game against Seattle so perhaps they'd be intrigued.

 

I hope we make this happen if it's a real possibility. It goes without saying but this moves the needle big time. A real downfield passing offense combined with last year's run offense has championship potential.

If they can't get DK Metcalf in his prime involved in the offense, then go ahead and just fire the entire coaching staff now.

That signals the Seahawks forfeiting the season IMO

He is in the final year of his deal.  Maybe they think they can get younger at the position, save $18 million on the cap, and improve other positions. 

[BuffaloMatt]

Can he play DT?

I see they are 13 million over the cap.... with Geno at QB that's crazy.

Drafting DK was the obvious move, especially in round two.

 

But I'd be leery of a massive investment in him now.  Strikes me as the type of body that will start to breakdown early, David Boston-esque.

No but he can make the defense practically irrelevant if he helps us score 35 PPG. Any DT (or any position for that matter) we draft at #30 is not likely to become an elite player. Metcalf is already elite and in his prime. There's no need to overthink it. It's a no brainer if he's available.

The Seahawks are starting over. The Pete Carroll era has ended. 

 

They probably want to get rid of big contracts to save money and become spenders for the players that they want to build on.

[LABILLBACKER]

I'd love to land Metcalf but only for a 2nd & 4th.

if I am the bills and making that trade, I am having some major wrist guarantees in that contract. 

[DapperCam]

Metcalf would be the best WR on the roster. I’d move a player and our 1st for him. I could be talked into the player being Coleman, but I’d rather not.

[strive_for_five_guy]

Wanted DK back when he was drafted, and would still love to see Josh throwing bombs to him.

The Deal from that Report is

 

Romeo Doubs & 23 for DJ Metcalf and 137 or 173

 

and you want to give up 

 

Keon Coleman or Dalton Kincaid, 30 and 107 or 130

 

Then you have to add in Metcalf's 2025 Cap number, 31 Million and workout an extension with him.

 

Seattle wants to move Metcalf because of his cap number and dead cap in the future, GB wants to move Doubs because he complained last year and they had to suspended him to straighten him out.   

 

Why would you want to include Coleman or Kincaid in the deal?  I would much rather have Metcalf on the field with Coleman/kincaid.   Is Seattle  only interested in trading him for a wr.  With the extra one I imagine Seattle would use it on a tight end.    

 

I guess I just wouldn't even consider Kincaid.  I understand coleman because that is a straight swap, plug in metcalf for Coleman's snaps but no way on kincaid. 

 

Since you are offering a 4th rounder 23 picks higher and Keon Coleman a player under contract for 3 more seasons as opposed to Doubs who needs a new contract and has shown he will complain and pout over his role in the offense it seems Coleman should be enough.

 

Coleman, 30 and 130 

for

Metcalf and 137 

 

Seems like a good deal for both teams.  Seattle gets cap space, a young wr under contract for 3 more years and two good picks and Buffalo gets what they have been chasing plus 137.

 

It seems the hardest part would be figuring out what to do with Metcalf's salary.

Negotiate an extension, add void years if necessary
