After failed in the Tayrik Hill toteJets general manager Joe Douglas has made it clear that his team will ready to strike if another star receiver appears on the market.
DK Metcalfe would fit the shape of exactly what the Jets are looking for.
The 24-year-old would take New York’s wide reception to the next level by complimenting Elijah Moore (Metcalfe College on the Ole Miss team) and Corey Davis, as well as giving quarterback Zach Wilson another playmaker.
Just look at Metcalfe’s numbers. The Hippopotamus has surpassed the 900-yard mark in all three of his NFL seasons with the Seahawks, making 29 touchdowns and 216 receptions in 49 career games.
So let’s say Metcalfe really becomes available this offseason, leading to the 2022 NFL Draft. What it will take to distract the star receiver from the Seahawks, a team that is likely to take a step back this season after they have exchanged their franchise defender.
Here is a trade offer from Jake Reel of Bleacher Reportwhere New York sends to Seattle enough capital to wind up a stellar receiver. We will review the proposed details with some Rila analyzes and then disassemble this.

If we haven’t made this clear enough before, it’s important to note that Metcalf isn’t currently in the trading unit. At least that’s what Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll thinks said recently. Metcalfe also wrote on social media that he heard nothing significant about potential trade, only rumors.
Due to the situation with Hill not so long ago and the flurry of blockbusters we saw in the NFL this offseason, anything can happen (and anything can also happen out of nowhere).
You can count on Douglas and Jets to be aggressive and ready to pounce. The only question left is whether they will choose to pull the trigger of the blockbuster, taking another step closer to ending their historic post-season drought.
