Brat&Beer Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 A big NO to trading a 1st round pick for Metcalf. You give up the pick and then have to pay Metcalf huge money the next few years. Packers have the draft capital to get one of the top WR's in the draft, and then you have that player relatively cheaply for the next 4 years. The key to getting out of the Packers current salary cap situation is to draft well, and draft often. Trading high draft picks for high priced veterans is the opposite of what hey should do. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say I agree. Let's not forget, the draft is far from a guarantee. Just look at the news today that the Pats are shopping N'Keal Harry, first round pick from two years ago who's had under 600 career yards. We can look at Metcalf as a player who's already developed, is young, and would be effectively on a 2 year $26m deal that's heavily backpaid (thanks to the tag). That's way below market value for a player of his caliber, he fits what we're looking for from the MVS role and it works perfectly with our current anticipated championship window of two years. Lowers the pressure on whoever steps in to the Adams role and helps us spread the ball more in the way the offense was designed. I'd try to convince Seattle to do it for less than a first, but I imagine there will be some bidding. They're already locked in with Lockett's pretty much immovable contact and are facing a rebuild anyway where trading DK could net them the draft capital they need to get back to contention sooner rather than later. That said the Jets might be just Jets enough to offer one of their top ten picks for him. Edited April 4, 2022 by Sandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who cares what the cap hell looks like 4 years from now? They are trying to leverage the current situation with AR now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
