Tuesday marked an eventful day for the NFL, especially for some of the top quarterbacks within the league. Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers received a four-year $200 million deal that made him the highest-paid player in the league.
However, he wasn’t the only quarterback who made headlines. Longtime Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson was traded to the Denver Broncos on Tuesday, too, which was a move many didn’t see coming. And with him now changing conferences, the AFC is expected to get that much more competitive.
With the Seahawks moving on from the nine-time Pro Bowler, it has caused many fans to speculate that he’s not the only Seattle Seahawks star the team could move on from. Additionally, the team parted ways with six-time All-Pro linebacker Bobby Wagner, which added fuel to the speculation that Seattle is ready to rebuild.
As a result, fans around the league have started to wonder who else the Seahawks could be open to trade or part ways with. Among the most notable who fans have been curious about is receiver D.K. Metcalf, who the Seahawks drafted in 2019.
The former second-round pick is entering the final year of his rookie contract and could want to get paid after having a great deal of success in his first three seasons and garnering 3,170 total receiving yards and 29 touchdowns. However, with the uncertainty at quarterback, he could want to get his new contract with another team, though that’s not something he’s come out to say.
Metcalf’s situation has caused a lot of discussions within the NFL community, and many eyes will be on Seattle moving forward. Of course, with the Jags needing a receiver, their fan base is included in the mix, and while it’s a long shot, it’s fair to say the organization has the assets to acquire the former Ole Miss receiver.
Twitter has especially been a place where this topic has caught steam and here are a few tweets that show just how much fans want to see Metcalf in teal — regardless of how much of a long shot others believe it may be.
