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.

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!
