It says a lot about how much other NFL teams want D.K. Metcalf that the trade speculation is so intense. Yesterday, we learned that the Seahawks won’t even listen to offers for their star 24-year old wide receiver – cutting off any talks immediately. If you think that will stop the incessant trade rumors you’re likely in for a long offseason.
This morning, ESPN has a fresh round of potential trade scenarios – seven, in fact. We’ll wait for the cliffnotes on those because it would be absolutely bananas and nuts for Seattle to deal Metcalf no matter what they might get in return.
An athlete like Metcalf will always bring on intense trade talks when he’s entering the final year of his contract, though – so fans who are sick of reading about it should probably get comfortable. Until Seattle actually signs him to an extension the trade content mill isn’t going to stop.
