Special K Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 (edited) I believe he has 2 years and 35 million left on his current contract......if Seattle eats some of that contract in the way the Bills did with Diggs, could a trade for Metcalf be possible? How about a 2nd and 4th this year plus a conditional 2nd that could become a 1st next year for Metcalf and Seattle's 3rd rounder this year. This would still leave the Bills with the ability to draft a WR at 28.....they could go with a smaller speed-type receiver like Xavier Worthy to compliment Metcalf at WR2. An offense of Metcalf, Worthy, Samuel, Shakir, Kincaid, Knox, and Cook would surpass anything any other AFC offense could put on the field!! Lets go, Beane!!

Matt_In_NH Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Not really.........probablyh not impossible with an extension but I really think they will want to find a guy in the draft and maybe try to find a lower priced vet via FA or trade after the draft.

Bruffalo Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 I'm sure Seattle would take that deal. That's too much to spend on Metcalf when he would need a new contract. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the conditional pick would hinge on whether he signed long term or not, and the fact that Seattle would eat some of the contract to fit him under the salary cap this year.

BillsfaninSB Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 If only we took DK instead of Cody Ford in 2019. Seemed like such an obvious choice back then. Would not have had to move up either. 6 1 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA OC Bills Fan Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Not sure what you mean by "if Seattle eats some of that contract in the way the Bills did with Diggs". Buffalo didn't "eat" Diggs' contract, it's just the way the salary cap works where a signing bonus is paid up front but is amortized over the course of the contract. When a player is traded, what's left of the amortization immediately goes against the cap. This is the first time I've looked at overthecap, but I think I understand it. Metcalf would have a base salary of around $13 million this year and $18 million next year. Seattle would have a dead cap hit of $15 million / $7.5 million this year / next year. Unless they really want to get rid of him, I doubt they'd want to do that. But, I didn't think the Bills would have wanted to take the big hit they did for Diggs, so, what do I know. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCBills Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 (edited) DK and one of Legette/Worthy/Mitchell outside with Shakir, Samuel, Cook and Kincaid working underneath. No one is stopping that. Edited April 5 by SCBills 2 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloRebound Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Seattle is up against the cap but would actually gain $1m in cap space by trading Metcalf. It’s a new coach, so wouldn’t surprise me if they’d move Metcalf for some premium draft picks. Plus Metcalf probably wants new contract as he’s outplayed his current one. Next years 1st plus swap of 2024 2nd for their 2024 3rd plus one of our 4th’s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we seriously comparing Gabe Davis and DK Metcalf? What would Gabe’s numbers have been with Geno Smith and Drew Lock throwing him the ball? 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBFL Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 DK Metcalf. Justin Jefferson. Brandon Aiyuk. Tee Higgins… Cant see us trading for any of those guys given the $ value that will be attached. Especially after absorbing all that dead money from Stefon. Drafting WRs is the solution, sorry to break it to you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why it’s so hard to figure out given that it’s been proven out for years, but number 1 WRs get their numbers regardless of who the QB is. Adams and Hill went from Rodgers and Mahomes to Carr and Tua and their numbers didn’t regress whatsoever. DK is better than Gabe, but they’re a lot closer than people here realize. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
