It’s been a brutal offseason for Seahawks fans, who have seen their team take a bigger step backwards than any other in the NFL. They have already endured their franchise quarterback getting traded to a former division rival and the best defender in the organization’s history getting unceremoniously released. For an encore, Seattle fans have been treated to an obnoxious level of trade rumors regarding the top remaining athlete on the roster.
Wide receiver D.K. Metcalf is now the biggest name on the team and their most-important asset. He’s also entering the final year of his rookie contract, which puts him in position to cash in on a new deal somewhere in the $25 million per year range. That’s brought on a lot of speculation that Metcalf could be dealt, especially after the Seahawks got rid of Russell Wilson and Bobby Wagner.
A lot of players around the league would love to team up with Metcalf, as well. One of the most vocal fans of his game has been Patriots outside linebacker Matt Judon, who’s already been called out by Quandre Diggs for trying to recruit Metcalf on Twitter.
