Also, they must run backward.

Just Spitballin, Would we be interested in a DK Metcalf deal involving Jordan Love in some aspect??

We should get whatever we can for Love now while the gettin is good. We have had 0 return on that 1st round pick for the last 2 years. time to get something for nothing.

2 MVP seasons from Rodgers is nothing?

Not sure if this is worth noting in Draft or Fa thread or both.

 

 

It fits perfect right here in light of the Metcalf discussion.

GB has completely backed themselves into a corner at WR. They've got one of the leagues weaker groups, there's practically nothing left in FA and they don't have a ton of cap space.

Completely banking on the draft is a mistake. Most if not all the top tier could be off the board by 22. Even if they get one, he'll be a question mark until he gets on the field. Lazard, Cobb and a rookie isn't a realistic plan.    

MLF is right, they need real speed to take the top off, but that speed has to be attached to someone who can make plays on the ball. That's exactly what Metcalf is. He's produced as a deep threat since day 1. He's only 24, on the front edge of his physical prime. Who in this draft projects as a comparable deep threat? Nobody. 

GB needs to bite the bullet and trade for Metcalf already. They reaped a bunch of draft capital while digging the WR hole, they can use some if it to get themselves out.

Are you willing to give up a first and more and then give him a Adams/Hill level contract? 4/120M or 5/150M?

I think you have to look long term here.  Not sure you want a Metcalf type guy demanding the ball from a young Jordan Love in a year or two.  Would it be wise to get a couple of young WRs that can grow under Rodgers and spend some time with Love in the following years.

I think this needs to stop a little bit.

Do we know that is what DK wants in his next deal?  He's not in that elite tier with Adams and Hill.  (Though Diggs is, and that could be an issue with the Bills soon.)

If we could trade Seattle a second and get DK to sign a 3 year, $60M deal extension (4 years of control), yah, I'd be willing to do that.  And that is GB's MO more or less.  Get a guy on his second contract at a nice going rate, but make it short enough so that the player can hit free agency again before turning 30.

100% thats what he wants. Is it what he'll get? Hes sure as **** going to want to find out. He's not signing some team friendly deal. Gonna wanna find that highest bidder.

He's also not getting Adams or Hill money.  He's not that good....yet.  He's gotta ball this year, big time to get those dollars.  And as it stands right now, he's got a lot of nothing at QB to get him the ball.

Dude hasn't even been the #1 receiver on his own team yet.

There would be no trade talks being kicked around if he was down with 3/60, Seattle would have just inked him and this would never been a topic. It's a pipedream to think the Seahawks are trading on the cheap and the trading team is getting a team friendly deal.

Dude hasn't earned that money yet.  Adams and Hill did.
