While Seattle has Pro Bowler DK Metcalf and three-time 1,000-yard receiver Tyler Lockett both under contract, the wide receiver market has exploded this ...
I mean, you have to have blocking, you have to have other routes run, you gotta have the quarterback putting the ball on the money.” … (Paying a wide receiver) is kind of like paying a pitcher (in baseball). I feel like there’s a lot of things that can go wrong, and I’ve always said there’s so much that has to happen in order for a receiver to catch a ball. • Dave Wyman: “I mean, $30 million (a year) for receivers now – it’s just crazy, but we might as well get used to it because the salary cap’s gonna continue to go up because the NFL is king. “You paid (safety Jamal Adams), you paid Diggs. You weren’t willing to pay Russell Wilson $50 million eventually. I think you have to pay somebody. • Michael Bumpus: “I say you have to keep him.
On the idea the Seahawks want to trade up in the draft and the Lions looking to move down, should Detroit consider an offer that includes DK Metcalf?
In terms of dealing with Seattle in a trade-down scenario, getting Metcalf is a nice idea and easy for Detroit to practically require as part of the deal. Even if Metcalf wouldn’t reset the top of the market in a new contract, $20 millon per year is not out of the question ( Spotrac is currently tabbing his market value a little above that). How many years do you go on a multi-year deal? But the Lions could just take Malik Willis second overall if they like him enough, and not get cute with trading down or trying to take a different quarterback a little later. They could take a quarterback there, but they could also consider trying to trade up and getting ahead of Carolina at No. 6 would be an order to make sure they get the guy they want. That has led to some speculation the top two pass catchers for Wilson in recent years, Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf, could be available in trade. Should the Lions want him?
Anything can happen in the NFL – and the last few weeks have definitely proven that – but the idea that the Seahawks should trade wide receiver D.K. Metcalf ...
Their latest bright idea is the Chiefs might try to trade for Metcalf after sending Tyreek Hill to the Dolphins for a boatload of draft picks. He’s also expected to sign a massive contract extension that will make him the highest-paid player on the roster now that Russell Wilson is with the Broncos. Metcalf is just 24 years old and entering his prime years as an athlete.
DK Metcalf is a one-of-a-kind talent, and trading him would be unthinkable in most scenarios. But in light of what Davante Adams and Tyreek Hill just ...
Adams secured a first- and second-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft for the Packers. Hill, meanwhile, got the Chiefs a first, second and fourth in 2022 and a fourth and sixth in 2023. That said, the Seahawks, despite their confidence in quickly turning things around, do not look poised to compete for the postseason or more this year. Cutting Adams in 2025 would save the Raiders roughly $68 million in cap space over the final two years of their current agreement, while a separation from Hill in the same year would net the Dolphins around $63 million in savings. That's when the money on Metcalf's potential deal would kick in, which, if structured in the same vein as Adams and Hill's, would account for roughly a third of that. Both deals will result in future salary cap hits of $30 million and higher in parts of the next half-decade. The odds of landing a productive wideout in the draft may be higher than any other position right now, and some teams are naturally going to hedge their bets on that.
With Russell Wilson and Bobby Wagner already having moved on from the Seattle Seahawks this offseason, it's no surprise to see some of the team's remaining ...
The Seahawks just signed Lockett to a huge deal last offseason, and while DK is looking for a new contract, there hasn’t been any indication that the Seahawks won’t be able to work something out with the former Ole Miss star. With the Seahawks adamantly stating they are not rebuilding, and the dealing of Lockett or Metcalf not appearing to have any real purpose for the team at the moment, a trade would certainly come as a shock. While Lockett has not publicly responded to the rumors, DK was his usual casual self on Twitter, responding to requests to come play for the Chiefs with a pretty swift and witty denial.
One day after the Chiefs shockingly traded wide receiver Tyreek Hill, FS1's Colin Cowherd tried to make sense of the DK Metcalf trade rumors.
Do we have to hold shares?” “My guess is that Kansas City lands him, because Kansas City has an owner,” Cowherd said. Kansas City is rumored to be interested in Metcalf, which isn’t surprising considering they have a massive void at receiver after trading Hill to Miami. The Green Bay Packers are also said to be interested in Metcalf after they dealt their own superstar wideout Davante Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders last week.
A Kansas City fan said there was room for the Seattle Seahawks star after the trade of Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins. A funny interaction soon followed.
Kansas City Chiefs fans have a mixed reaction to news of the Tyreek Hill trade Kansas City Chiefs fans have a mixed reaction to news of the Tyreek Hill trade There’s a big hole in the Chiefs depth chart following Wednesday’s trade of No. 1 receiver Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins.
After trading WR Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins, the Kansas City Chiefs have been rumored to be inquiring about Seattle Seahawks receivers DK Metcalf and ...
Lockett, who is 29 years old and will turn 30 in late September, has quietly become a very productive receiver for the Seahawks. He has logged at least 1,000 receiving yards in each of the past three seasons and has been targeted a whopping 349 times over that span. Metcalf, who turned heads with his stellar 2019 NFL Combine performance, is set to enter the final year of his rookie contract. Wilson is now a member of the Denver Broncos after being traded earlier in the offseason so as of right now, Metcalf and Lockett are projected to catch passes from Drew Lock in 2022. The team is coming off a disappointing 7-10 season that also saw quarterback Russell Wilson suffer a hand injury that sidelined him for weeks. Settleman adds that the Seahawks are "opening to listening to offers" for their pair of stud wide receivers. Just hours after trading superstar wide receiver Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins, the Kansas City Chiefs are rumored to be — at the minimum — interested in finding out more about other wideouts.
