While Seattle Seahawks embarks on a major out -of -season, one of the biggest questions faced by Star Wide DK Metcalf centers.
ROST: Seahawks GM’s bold approach now should be applied in a new way
With one season left on the three-year extension of the $ 72 million contract, which he signed in July 2022, the 27-year-old Metcalf will undoubtedly look for a new deal that keeps him up-to-date with the thriving league reception market. But with other Seahawks also on the potential extensions line – including veteran defender Jeno Smith – Metcalf may command more money and a wage cap than Seattle is ready to make.
If the two sides are unable to reach an extension agreement, Seahawks may seem to trade Metcalfe. Insider Espn Jeremy Fowler offered so much in an article last week. In an annual piece, based on forecasts by the NFL team leaders, scouts and other staff, Fowler set the idea of Seattle to deal with his Los Angeles charge star.

If Seahawks descend on this route, how much can they receive by trading Metcalf? Tom Pelisero of NFL Network provided a certain idea during the recent appearance of Brock and Salk on Seattle Sports.
“With the other big deals that we have seen with wide receivers in recent years, we saw everything-from the main choice of the second round to the choice of the fourth round,” Pelisero said. “I would think that DK as young is, it will focus on the high end of it.
“You may even get a first round choice for him, especially because this (year) is not a super deep group of recesses with wide free agents. … There is no tone dudes, so if you want a receiver on the highest flight, you may need to give up something really essential about draft capital to get it. “
Metcalf is a particularly sophisticated player to appreciate, as Derrick Classen from Athletic described in detail on Wyman and Bob.
On the one hand, the 6-foot-4, 235-pound metatkalf has a rare combination of size, speed and strength, making it one of the more unique athletes in NFL. In addition, it is constantly productive, reaching at least 900 yards and five touch of touchdown in each of its first six seasons.
But on the other hand, Metcalf did not end in the top 15 in receiving the yard, as it ranked seventh with the highest careers 1 303 yards in 2020 and its current value for $ 24 million a year on the 13th A place among the NFL receivers, according to what is done. The cap.
Pelisero said he would expect Seahawks to explore ways to maintain Metcalf around through expansion, but also recognizes the financial reality of the situation.
“I know how much DK Seahawks love and what it carries on the table in terms of physical traits,” Pelisero said. “(This is) why they were so big fans when he was out. But listen, everyone has to make difficult decisions. If they went on the path of potentially human trading, I am sure there will be teams that would be interested in this.
“I would imagine that you will first study the contract. … (But) for a team that wants to be the first football team, you really have to consider how we get there-not only with regard to the hiring of OK and coaching, but also where we spend our money and resources as we head to 2025? “
