BuffaloBill Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Would the Hawks trade Metcalf? This is a highly unlikely scenario for many reasons - salary cap, impact to Diggs and likelihood that the Hawks just don’t let him go are at the top of the list. However, there are some uncertainties regarding Metcalf future in Seattle. As for me, If the Bills could get him for a 1st and a 4th I would say do it all day long every day. Could you imagine the nightmare matchups created with Diggs, Metcalf and Knox in the game as your base set? You have all combinations of size, speed, route running, ability to play at every level and Josh heaving the rock. 1 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextmanup Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) I would LOVE to get this cowboy. It's a topic for another thread, but incidentally, as a soccer fan, he is the perfect example of the American athlete I DREAM of some day playing soccer as a boy in this country. 6'4", 230 lbs, strong as a gorilla, and runs a 4.3 ???? Can you imagine this guy flying around a soccer field? The USA would never lose at the World Cup. If only our best athletes played soccer. Anyway, yes, get him on the Bills if at all possible. Make it so that opposing defenses simply DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH PLAYERS to take away our elite weapons!

JerseyBills Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Idk. I'd like to spend those assets elsewhere. Our QB just threw 9 TD in 2 playoff gms. I'm not worried about our WRs with Diggs Davis Bease and Knox already on the roster. I'd rather add an explosive RB to compliment Motor. 3 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billl Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Why not just draft your own guy? Beane already gave up the pick that was used for Justin Jefferson to get Diggs. You want to give away another first rounder for the right to pay Metcalf $20,000,000 a year? At some point you’ve got to draft your own talent rather than overpay for the talent someone else found. 12 7 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn’t a McDermott type of player. He gives up on plays, or puts in minimal effort. This year many of my local friends really soured on Metcalfs lack of effort at times. Personally I wanted him bad going into that draft, after watching his lack effort, I believe that to be big reason behind his slide. 1 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillyG Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 No. I would not. DK is talented. No doubts about it. However, I like Davis. As long as they nail the 1st round pick this year we will need talented players on a rookie contracts going forward. I'd rather see Gabe hit his potential and add a 1st round talent to the roster with him. DK is a specimen. He's also getting ready for a payday. We also, as a team seemed to use our WRs on a matchup based game plan. There may be stretches where Metcalf isn't featured. Can he handle that better here then he reportedly did in Seattle last year? Can he keep himself in check? https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nfl.com/_amp/seahawks-wr-dk-metcalf-on-repeated-outbursts-i-ve-got-to-grow-up-and-continue-to 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’d be absurd in our Offense, but he seems like a dude who goes sideways the second there is adversity. At least that’s what he put out there visibly in Seattle this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarleyNY Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 The fact that we’re talking about the 25th pick makes it tempting. The issues I have are that a) he’s apparently turned into a bit of a diva and headcase and b) he’s in the last year of his rookie contract. Zero chance I give up a first (plus a fourth) without a new contract in place. Then there’s a likely impact with Diggs too. He’s got a contract that underpays him relative to his performance and I doubt he’d be happy being the best WR on the Bills while also being the second best paid one. Also I’d have to be comfortable with him in the locker room. This one is nice to dream about but there are just too many obstacles. The only way I’d see it is if he was forcing his way out of Seattle and wanted to come to Buffalo specifically. Then we’d still need to get contracts for him and Diggs in order. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DabillsDaBillsDaBills Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 He's a great player, but no I wouldn't want to trade for him. We'd lose out on draft capital and have to give him a massive contract. If we're chasing after WRs I'd rather try to sign UFAs like Godwin or Adams. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangarang Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) I don’t see why they would be tempted by a late 1st. He’s also entering the final year of rookie contract and will likely want something in the neighborhood of $100mil or more. He’s a great player but I think we should pass.

Motorin' Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Meet Treylon Burks. 6'3", 225lbs, reported to run in the 4.3's. Better route runner and hands than DK. Currently ranked as a late 1st round pick. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilthyBeast Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I think any trade that would involve giving up a 1st round pick has to be geared towards a proven veteran pass rusher. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjd1001 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Probably not. I think this team is so Josh Allen centric that he has enough weapons around him. Now sure, could you always get better weapons and will it help? Yes, it would, but at what cost? The cap space that DK would eat up...how many more points would the Bills score compared to what you could do with that cap space on the OL, DL, LB or DB's? I think Allen can carry this offense with good weapons (not great) and the money spent on 'great' players can best be spent either protecting Allen or giving him a Defense that will win the KC game or the Tennessee game from earlier this year.

Aside from the OL or finding a TE better than Knox, it's the most important thing we can do. And folks want to talk about LBs for God's sake! Don't forget--Josh had the DEAD LAST WORST YAC in the NFL this year! Get another stud so that when KC takes Diggs out of the game, we have the other stud wide open to kill them with. If they take that guy out of the game, we kill them with Diggs. KC has Kelce and Hill! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
