NFC Heavyweight Lands Seattle Seahawks Superstar WR DK Metcalf In Blockbuster Trade Proposal That Would Give Them The League’s Best Offense
If the Seattle Seahawks are out of the NFL playoff race leading up to the Nov. 5 trade deadline, rival teams should be calling GM John Schneider about a potential deal for superstar wide receiver DK Metcalf.
There are no indicators that DK Metcalf wants to leave the Seahawks. But the 26-year-old is only signed through 2025, and judging by the wide receiver market this summer, it’s safe to say Metcalf’s next contract will easily cost over $100 million.
Metcalf might even be hesitant to sign an extension with the Seahawks if they look nothing like a contender this year. With 2023 first-round pick Jaxon-Smith Njigba in place, the Hawks could decide that Metcalf is expendable and put him on the trade block.
If there’s one team that should be “all-in” on a DK Metcalf trade, it’s Jerry Jones’ Dallas Cowboys. Remember, Jones said in January that his team would have an “all-in” approach to the offseason.
The Cowboys haven’t made any blockbuster trades or free agent signings this offseason. But what if Jones saved his best move for last and made a deal for a superstar wideout like DK Metcalf, who would form an explosive duo with CeeDee Lamb?
Like Lamb, Metcalf has made a compelling case as a top-five wide receiver in football. Dak Prescott had a career year in 2023 with Lamb as his only game-changing weapon, so imagine if Metcalf joined the party.
What Cowboys Should Offer Seahawks For DK Metcalf
Two years ago, the Las Vegas Raiders gave up 2022 first and second-round picks to the Green Bay Packers for Davante Adams. So 2025 first and second-round picks will likely be a starting point in negotiations for DK Metcalf, with Dallas potentially having to offer more.
Seattle may want another WR as part of the return, so perhaps first and second-round picks along with third-year receiver Jalen Tolbert could get it done. It would be a quality return for a retooling Seahawks team, while a Prescott-Lamb-Metcalf trio could help Dallas get over the hump and win the Super Bowl once and for all.
