How about extending him at the time of the trade?

Then you’ve killed any value you had by trading Hill.

Well yeah, that's what I meant. He's not going to want to go somewhere without knowing that team will step up for an extension. Probably the same way Hill did with Miami. He wouldn't agree without that extension guarantee. My point was if we went after DK, we're not going to get him on a short term "Prove it" contract.

We're not getting Metcalf. Just stop already.

There's every reason to believe his contract will be bigger than Hill's.

Every top WR was drafted. We've got a ton of picks. Use them smart and we'll have our own no 1 WR...

Exactly.

Nope...the obvious thing to do is completely blow any value we created with the Hill trade.

JAMESON!

I'll be happy when I never have to hear Jameson Williams or DK Metcalf and the Chiefs in the same sentence ever again.

:thumb::clap:

What if?

Lets say they pull off a trade for DK. They immediately sign him to a new contract for roughly 20 million a year with a low cap hit this year.

We are paying him top WR money for his past production but not THE top, he gets his money sooner and gets Patrick. This helps him out as well as the Chiefs.

Then if he blows up which is likely, hes already under contract for 4 years?

Win Win!

I would argue that signing any player in the NFL below their actual worth would be win-win. It's almost a question of why said player would accept a deal like that...

Answer: If Christian Kirk is getting 18mm/yr, Metcalf is getting a lot more than 20mm/yr.

There's to much DK Metcalf bullshit in this thread about Shenault, god damnt.

Fair question, possible answers...

He isnt going to get a new contract this year from the Seahawks, he could be tagged next year so still no new contract.

He has no QB in Seattle, hard to build your brand over the next two years with no QB.

He gets his money NOW instead of a maybe in the next year or two. He goes to a much better team with the BEST QB in the league.

He then gets another contract at 29 after winning a few Superbowls!

Let's just go ahead and draft the next DK instead, and pay him a rookie salary for the next 4 years.

Even if we have to trade up slightly, it still would cost less than shipping picks to Seattle.
