Seattle Seahawks star wideout DK Metcalf has been rumored to be on the trade block ever since Russell Wilson and Bobby Wagner departed. With Metcalf being on the last year of his rookie contract and Seattle being in a clear rebuild DK could be on the move, teams around the league speculate DK could be on the move for the right price. Here are my top 5 trade destinations according to fit and the teams need for a wide receiver.
- Green Bay Packers
With DeVante Adams traded at the start of free agency and Marquez Valdes-Scantling leaving to join the Chiefs the Packers have a big hole to fill at receiver, With Metcalf being in the lineup he would be the perfect player for Aaron Rodgers.
- New York Jets
With trade rumors already going around the Jets reportedly offered the #10 overall pick for Metcalf and the Seahawks turned it down, it is reported that it would take at least two first round picks to acquire DK. It would be a pretty good fit considering being similar age to 2nd year quarterback Zach Wilson and the other receivers on the team.
- Indianapolis Colts
The Colts would be much higher on the list if they had a stable QB situation, with Indianapolis having its sixth starting QB in the last six seasons DK will be a great fit with Matt Ryan but would be a greater fit if Ryan was a few years younger.
- Baltimore Ravens
The Ravens have been a great, stable organization since entering the league, with Baltimore missing that true number 1 receiver DK could totally be that and the Ravens would have elite Skill positions with J.K Dobbins, Mark Andrews, and Hollywood Brown. The only downside to this is Lamar Jackson hasn’t developed much of his passing game since entering the league in 2018.
- Philadelphia Eagles
Same as the Ravens, Jalen Hurts hasn’t developed much of a deep ball and can be inaccurate at times that’s why the Eagles are much down on the list, the Eagles have had one of the worst receiving cores in the league for last couple years but that would change dramatically with Metcalf in the lineup. With Devonte Smith and DK Metcalf on the other side, that could end up being a top 5 receiving duo in the league one day.
