Five trade destinations for DK Metcalf should the Seahawks decide to move on

The Chiefs no longer have a No. 1 wide receiver after sending Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins. KC does still have Travis Kelce at tight end, but on the outside, I’m just not sure if JuJu Smith-Schuster is the answer as the top option. Yes, he caught 97 balls in 2020 but only had 831 yards receiving which wasn’t entirely his fault, but he’s gotta take on some of the blame. And his other big year came in 2018 alongside Antonio Brown. So, Ju Ju still has something to prove.

The Chiefs have the draft capital after receiving multiple picks for Hill, which gives them 12 picks in April’s draft. They have two toward the end of the first round, which I think would be enough to pry Metcalf away from the Seahawks. If it takes a little more, the Chiefs also have two seconds, two thirds, and two fourth-round picks. If I had to choose a front runner for Metcalf, should he be officially placed on the block, I’d have to go with Kansas City. Pair him with Patrick Mahomes, and the Chiefs are the most explosive offense in the league again.

Just like the Chiefs, the Packers no longer have a No. 1 receiver after Devontae Adams chose Las Vegas over Green Bay. Aaron Rodgers now needs a new target to force-feed the ball as he did with Adams the past few years.

Green Bay has a good running game and a future Hall of Fame QB. The only issue is he hasn’t seemed to have much trust in any other receiver besides Adams. Rodgers has no choice now, but Metcalf should be at the top of his list of outside receivers to replace Adams. The Packers usually prefer homegrown talent, but it might not cost them that much in draft capital to bring in Metcalf.

The Jets need all the help they can get on the offensive side of the ball. DK would instantly be Zach Wilson’s favorite target, but he probably isn’t enough to make the Jets a winner. Again, the Jets need a lot of help, but bringing in Metcalf could be another vital piece to the puzzle for head coach Robert Saleh. Every young QB needs that guy he can rely on in the red zone or third downs. Metcalf could be that guy for Wilson.

They feel like they are set at the QB position. They drafted Devonta Smith last year and now could add another weapon to the receiver room in Metcalf. Why not? The Rams added Allen Robinson II when most didn’t think they needed more help at receiver. We all see the way this league has gone in recent years.

If you’ve got weapons, you’ve got a chance. DK is a 6-foot-4, Terrell Owens-esque weapon with world-class speed. Howie Roseman would be crazy to pass up the opportunity to bring in Metcalf. They made the playoffs last year as a wildcard. Adding Metcalf might make them the favorite to win that division next season.

Washington’s front office is a mess in so many ways. It’s hard to focus on anything on the field with this team when the culture reeks from owner Daniel Snyder on down.

The Commanders also need help on the field, and after trading for Carson Wentz, they could use another weapon on the outside. Metcalf would be an immediate upgrade at the wide receiver position, and in the NFC East, that could make them a serious contender once again. Washington’s leading receiver, Terry McLaurin, had 77 catches last season. Metcalf had 75 receptions, and his franchise QB missed a few weeks of action. The Commanders should be on the phone with the Seahawks every day trying to get this deal done.

Right now, Metcalf is saying all the right things as most players do before being traded. He says he wants to stay in Seattle. He also said Drew Lock will be the guy for the Seahawks. Most people are struggling to accept this as reality.
