“I am a role model, Jerry! I have a family to support! Hear me? I want to stay in Arizona. I want my new contract.”
So said Cuba Gooding Jr.’s underrated and undersized wide receiver Rod Tidwell in his famous show-me-the-money scene in 1996’s Jerry Maguire as he pushed his agent for a new contract from the Arizona Cardinals. One gets the impression that IRL Seattle Seahawks wideout D.K. Metcalf is feeling much the same way right about now.
Despite having reported for every single day of voluntary OTAs, Metcalf is skipping mandatory minicamp in what’s been reported to be an unexcused absence. While we haven’t heard from coach Pete Carroll yet on the subject, it’s not difficult to imagine that this is related to Metcalf’s contract situation.
