DK Metcalf's trade value isn't what you think it is
DK Metcalf's trade value isn't what you think it is
Seahawks probably wouldn't get close to a first round pick for DK Metcalf, based on what NFL market has shown us: Seaside Joe 1857
The subject of the Seahawks trading receiver DK Metcalf has come up relatively often in the last two years, since before his non-holdout stalemate that led to a three-year contract extension in 2022 and up until most recently as some in the media have pondered if Seattle could add by subtracting.
The problem with these “DK Metcalf trade scenarios” and debating the upside in such a move is not necessarily whether the Seahawks should part ways with one of the best wide receiver picks in the history of the franchise (the only players drafted by Seattle to have more career yards with Seattle are Tyler Lockett, Brian Blades, and Darrell Jackson), but instead these hypotheticals are running into the issue of: fantasizing-run-amok.
The question isn’t “Should the Seahawks trade DK Metcalf for a first round pick?”
The question is “Should the Seahawks trade DK Metcalf for the best offer they could get?”…
And I don’t see any evidence in the last few years that suggest Seattle’s going to get anything that close to a first round pick for DK Metcalf.
So for the purposes of nipping this ponderance into the bud, Seaside Joe will comprehensively address the WR trade market of 2024 and why teams most likely are not fighting for the rights to deal a first round pick for any veteran receivers, let alone one who might not rank in the top-three available options.
