Utah John Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 4 minutes ago, CountDorkula said: I doubt they are moving either. They now have Fant/Metcalf/Locektt. Great triple threat for a rookie QB. The Sammy Watkins episode showed it doesn't work to have a great WR corps when you don't have a very good (or better) QB. You get the QB and then build the offense around him. The weak QB draft class means the Seahawks aren't going to get Their Guy this year. They're going to try to hold their core together while shedding expensive veterans, so they'll have more cap space next year. They'll be trying for 6-11 or worse in order to get good draft picks in 2023. The real crisis will come when Pete Carroll decides to retire, and that could come about soon if the Seahawks struggle even worse than last year, which seems likely.

Southern_Bills Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Regardless of the contract I wouldn't give up much.

BillsFanForever19 Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 On paper, it sounds great. But he's the ultimate diva. You'd be putting a lot of pressure on Allen to make sure both he and Diggs are happy with the amount of balls they get. You'll have to do that, pay them both, and most likely lose Gabe Davis in a couple years when he also wants to get paid and/or want a place where he'll get more balls. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetermansRedemption Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Metcalf was my draft crush. I wouldn’t have been upset with him at 9th overall. When he dropped like a rock I was so mad we didn’t grab him in the second round. 1 minute ago, BillsFanForever19 said: On paper, it sounds great. But he's the ultimate diva.

I have talked to some friends who are Seahawks fans. He has a bad rap for taking plays off. I would love to have him. But a first is way too rich for me. I also have little interest in $20M per after this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rc2catch Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 I guess it’s fun to speculate but I don’t think Metcalf is actually available. Seattle is not in rebuild mode despite shipping Wilson off.

A few Seattle friends of mine get frustrated with him for taking plays off. We have other guys to re-sign next season. I don't like a first for a rental, and I don't like keeping him at $20M per season. The Bills are estimated at $40M in cap space in 2023. To just get through the draft we are going to have to borrow against that number, let along FA's. I don't have any interest in the Bills eating up half of that or more on DK flippantly.

BillsFanForever19 Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 (edited) A more realistic scenario would be Tyler Lockett, who appears to be on the market. Just 3 Mil on the cap this season and nothing guaranteed beyond that (9.7 next year if they keep him). Seems like the kind of cap friendly, decent player move Beane would be interested in.

Florida Bills Fanatic Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 I doubt that Seattle is looking to unload more of their best players. A 71 year old head coach is not hanging around for a complete rebuild. Wilson hasn't been a top five QB for a while and I get the sense that they traded him before his perceived value dropped down to his actual value. Denver paid a very steep price for a 33 year old QB but it does make them a better team. Even if Seattle is planning to trade Metcalf, I just don't think that Beane will spend the resources for him. The presence of Diggs, the emergence of Davis, and a very deep draft class make a move for Metcalf a very remote possibility IMO. Metcalf on the Bills would be an awesome addition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like some of DK's antics either,but a winning culture has a strange way of changing guys. He's absolutely worth the #25 pick in this year's draft and barring injury, the contract to follow. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diggs will be in the low 20's after an extension, Metcalf will be in the low 20's, and Allen will soon be in the mid 40's. Even if the cap is around 220m in the coming years that's 40% of your cap in 3 players. Doesn't seem realistic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
