Seattle Seahawks: 3 potential trade partners for DK Metcalf

Seahawks trade with Packers

The Green Bay Packers traded Davante Adams because Adams wanted a lot of money and didn’t seemingly want to play in Green Bay if Aaron Rodgers wasn’t throwing him footballs. That last part is important. Rodgers is 38 years old and Adams has years of success before him. If there is a chance that for many of those seasons he is playing with a sub-par quarterback then why sign a long-term extension?

Metcalf is different, though. First of all, Metcalf is five years younger than Adams and should therefore still be playing football in 2030 when Adams is not. Adams needs to do more with the relatively little time he has left than Metcalf who is still trying to show he can be a Hall of Fame player.

For the Packers, they are likely a championship-caliber team but one Achilles heel might be a lack of greatness at receiver. Aaron Rodgers has always been very good but the times he has struggled more than others are when he hasn’t had a great receiver to throw to. Metcalf gives Rodgers that great receiver.

I see this trade playing out for the Seahawks like it did for Green Bay when they traded Adams. Green Bay offers the Seahawks two picks in the 2023 draft. This would give the Seahawks three first-round choices next year and seven in the first three rounds. That amount of draft capital is a good way to get really good fast but also maintain that level of being a contender.
