Another blockbuster trade went down in the NFL Wednesday, when the Chiefs decided to trade six-time pro-bowl wide receiver Tyreek Hill to the Dolphins for five draft picks. It’s an unprecedented deal for a wideout, but isn’t out of the realm of sanity for a player as dynamic as Hill. His break away speed and play making abilities are second to none in the league. I would argue both parties won the exchange. This move does present a barometer for another team, but in the NFC;
What is the trade value for DK Metcalf after the Hill deal? The Seahawks need to know…
There are other factors at play when it comes to Metcalf’s trade value. Consider he only has 1 year left on his existing deal and out essentially be a rental for most teams NOT in big markets. Many Twitter users believe he’s destined for the Chiefs, but how effective could he be with an already loaded wide receiving core that added Ju Ju Smith Schuster in free agency?
Seattle is no doubt in rebuild mode which makes it imperative they acquire picks, upon picks for DK. The Russell Wilson trade guarantees the Hawks to be irrelevant the next five years. There’s no need to be talented next season, rather wait on a stacked draft class next year to have a chance at Heisman winner Bryce Young.
