D.K. Metcalf Eyeing $30MM AAV; Seahawks' Asking Price Includes First-Round Pick
D.K. Metcalf has been attached to an asking price of $30MM per year on a new deal, while the Seahawks are looking for Day 1 draft capital.

He's got a connection with Stroud... maybe. The boy good, but not two 1st round picks good

It now looks like Metcalf could be worth a round three in a trade with Seattle. The following article mentions Texans. DJ just turned 27 this past december. If Nick could work out a Team friendly extension with a rework of this year's $18 million base, I would be interested. Metcalf ran a 4.33 40-yard dash and is 6 ft 4 225; 1.48 split with 40.5 vertical.

Seahawks Lower Asking Price On D.K. Metcalf Trade
The Seahawks appear to have lowered their asking price on a D.K. Metcalf trade. Read more at Pro Football Rumors.
Non guaranteed veteran minimum contract
I would give him a small amount of guaranteed money. Signing Lockett wouldn't keep me from drafting a WR high in this draft. I dont understand why Caserio gave Berrios/Watson 3 mil in guaranteed money, instead of spending that money on on a vet like Lockett/Cooper etc...
Yep, tells me they’re competing for the WR 4-6 roles with Hutch/Metchie. WR still an emphasis for the draft.
Interesting, that's a lot of cash. Who's going to throw him the ball though?
Agreed, look at the type of wr they brought in for visits and that's the type of wr they're looking for. The wr that's drafted may not be on the visits list. For instance I think a guy like Burden may be in play, maybe even after a trade down scenario.Current Wide Receiver depth chart:

Nico is WR1. We can lock that thread now.
Kirk will be second in targets and yards this season filling Diggs’ role.
Dell will not play this season.
I am not considering guys like Jared Wayne and the Johnsons (camp bodies).
Berrios more a ST only Steven Sims player if he makes the team.
That leaves Xavier Hutchinson, John Metchie and Justin Watson.
Hutchinson played 47% of snaps and had 12 catches in the regular season. Metchie played 45% of snaps and had 24 catches in the regular season. That’s just not good enough. The staff trusted them to be on the field nearly half the snaps but they are not difference makers.
Robert Woods got into the game 37% of snaps and had 20 catches. He wont be back. His roster spot will be taken by Watson.
Justin Watson played 60% of snaps for the Chiefs and had 22 catches to show for it.
This team needs a 3rd target that is more than a space eater on the field. Metchie, Hutchinson and Watson all fit the profile of a “glue guy”. Hard workers who will be where the coaches want them to be… decent blockers even. But when it comes time to separate and make a play you can’t count on them. WR will be taken with one of the first two picks imo.
That being said, the JAGs are serviceable enough to hold at least 2 of their 3 roster spots. Something to be said for being where the coach wants them to be and a hard worker. I don’t see a day 3 WR taking their spot. So we can forget about throwing a dart and expecting a difference maker. Point of emphasis for team, take one you can have a reasonable expectation of production from early.
All the top WRs are on the menu. But I think of the ones available round 3 (a developmental guy like Nick Nash or Elic Ayomanor or slot only guy like Xavier Restrepo for example) I don’t see the round 3 guys earning playing time ahead of Hutch/Metchie/Watson… solely because they aren’t trusted to do what the coaches asked. Restrepo would be the exception but his playing time would be tied to Kirk’s availability. He would not get on the field unless Kirk is injured and wouldn’t contribute on ST.

I kind of like Royals and Horton in the 3rd if Caserio decides to wait on a WR. Depending on how the board looks I might even trade up a little bit for Royals if Caserio went sat OL/TE or DT in the 1st two rds. I'm higher on Royals than most. He's got speed, tackle breaking ability and can play in either the slot or outside. I think he would matchup well with CJ. Also Horton was a stud in 2023 before hurting his knee. He looks to be recovered and if he is he's well worth 3-89 IMHO.

Yes, as much as I like Restrepo, the signing of Kirk pretty much moved him off my board. Good news it opened a draft pick.
Probably an 8th rd 2027 pick
Not going to come up short in the WR corps come playoff time this yr. Plus they're covered when Kirk walks.
I prefer WRs who can separate quickly on their release. But, play design can scheme the separation and good route runners can attain separation with a QB who throws with anticipation. I haven't watched enough of Jayden Higgins to have an opinion on his separation.
I completely agree on Stoots yet I listened to John McClain for decades so I can put up with Cody.
We may soon hear of Nick doing a very Team friendly extension to Christian Kirk.
