The Kansas City Chiefs and Seattle Seahawks could partake in a massive trade discussion that would send a special playmaker to a new home.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Seattle Seahawks could find themselves in a negotiation to send star wideout\u00a0DK Metcalf\u00a0in a trade to the Kansas City Chiefs.\u00a0According to several reports, there\u2019s an expectation that the Chiefs could call about a Metcalf trade who is in the final year of his three-year, $72 million contract. It\u2019s easy to see why Kansas City could be a suitor since they\u2019re anticipating losing DeAndre Hopkins and Marquise Brown in free agency since the team doesn\u2019t have the financial liberty to grant them hefty deals. In that case, they\u2019re doing everything they can this offseason to make as many moves with the salary cap they have and while Metcalf probably won\u2019t move out of Seattle anytime soon, anything in this league can happen and is possible.<\/p>\n

Originally selected in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft, the former Ole Miss product became one of the most special playmakers in the league known for his elusiveness and hands he has. Metcalf is a two-time Pro Bowler and an All-Pro nod which are all a reason why he could be fielding trade interest this offseason.\u00a0Jaxon Smith-Njigba\u00a0had one of his best seasons last year while Metcalf didn\u2019t perform up to standards so this could be his big year if he stays in Seattle. However, the Chiefs will have to be willing to give up plenty of draft capital for Metcalf which would be hard since he probably wants a contract extension sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n

According to NFL.com, he\u2019s one of the several wide receivers on the list who \u201cshould\u201d move on in a trade. Two teams like the Ravens, Chargers could spark interest this offseason and intervene.<\/p>\n

Chiefs, Seahawks Connected in NFL Blockbuster DK Metcalf Trade \u2013 Ravens, Chargers Likely to Intervene<\/h2>\n

Last Push Towards Super Bowl<\/h3>\n
<\/div>\n

This is probably a nice opportunity for head coach John Harbaugh could pursue since the Ravens missed out on two legitimate chances to head to the AFC Championship Game for the past back-to-back seasons. Quarterback Lamar Jackson is playing his best football right now and the Ravens can\u2019t let it go to waste because they couldn\u2019t find a reliable man behind\u00a0Zay Flowers\u00a0and Rashod Bateman. They might not have the salary cap to afford a DK Metcalf trade but it\u2019s still possible that it may happen since they haven\u2019t had any luck of signing another or trading another capable weapon.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Diontae Johnson\u00a0was going to be their man to bring the passing attack back to life but\u00a0the plans fell through.\u00a0Since Nelson Agholor is a free agent, DeVontez Walker isn\u2019t quite ready for the WR3 role even if they decide to bring him back. Metcalf is probably their answer to finally give some relief to Flowers. These two in the deep route could finally get the Ravens back in the Super Bowl in more than a decade.<\/p>\n

Justin Herbert\u2019s New Weapon?<\/h3>\n

As for the Chargers, Jim Harbaugh should put Justin Herbert in the best position to win football games not only in the regular season but in the playoffs as well. Harbaugh\u00a0admits he did him a disservice\u00a0so improving the pass game should be their number one priority since that\u2019s where Herbert thrives best. As it stands, second-year\u00a0Ladd McConkey\u00a0is their only set of reliable hands.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Quentin Johnston\u00a0is heading into his third year as a bust and Joshua Palmer is a free agent. While they could extend Palmer, the Chargers need more experience for Herbert. He can\u2019t do it alone with McConkey and Metcalf is the perfect solution to get the team back in the AFC Championship conversations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
