Mike Garafolo: Panthers are in on DK Metcalf trade

[Waldo]

Neglect that D again and that should put them into firing range by the end of the year.

I have no idea why they want to bet on the offense carring a terrible D but that's what they want apparently.

I just don't see him extending here unless we offer best-at-position money.

I just don't see that as being justified, TBH.

Yeah, I can't see paying Seattle's asking price AND signing him to a 5 year / $150 million contract.  That's just irresponsible.  Now if it's a 4th rounder...OK, that becomes more interesting contract aside.  I'd tell him prove it.  If you want $30 million, earn that.

Would love to have the guy, don't get me wrong, but he has never at any point consistently played like an elite WR. Why would we pay him elite money?

Because we are talking about the Panthers and the consistently stupid decisions they’ve made under the Tepper rule. I hope they don’t do this.

Take him, draft Warren and Skattebo…

 

go defense the rest of the way, sign a DT, draft pass rushers and a DT…

If they could address the front 7 before the draft... that'd be a solid offense no lie. Definitely  need to get creative and get a pass rusher and nose tackle

Similar stat line to Tee Higgins who has been sucked off hawk tuah style for 2 full years on this board.

Higgins doesn't have the drop issues that Metcalf does, nor does he have the issue of being a #2 WR like Higgins does.

Not to say I think we should pay a massive bag to Higgins either.

I am just saying there is nothing about Metcalf, outside pure Underwear Olympics boner inducing Al Davis wet dream athletic ability, that screams top 5 paid player at the position. He really has been underwhelming, if anything.

Not bad. He definitely isn't bad. And I do want him.....but not at that price. We can't go player, to player, to player and reset the market. We will be in shambles for another decade.

Give me Cooper Kupp!

Id prefer to find a guy in the draft but Metcalf is only 27, birthday in December so he's still relatively young and has good experience. I would give a 3rd round pick if I were trading. He's worth that. But a 1st and 3rd like they are asking for........

This is an incredibly dumb move if the rumors are true.

Sure fits the MO. Seahawks cast off, big move they shouldn't make and won't help with the biggest issues.

I get calling but being all in just makes it seem like Scott is still around.

Swap 1st & 2nd round picks, then I would be all in for that trade.

Give them a top 10 pick for a WR who will be 28 by the end of the year and will be one of the highest paid at his position? That's how you remain firmly in the cellar as we have been....

[MrBubba]

The trade compensation and likely new contract, would be a pass for me
