There’s been a lot of smoke to suggest a DK Metcalf trade is possible, but so far there’s been very little traction toward getting a deal completed. For Seattle Seahawks fans the last bit is music to their ears. To NFL teams hoping to improve the top of their depth chart with a No. 1 wide receiver, it’s bad news.

But that doesn’t mean Metcalf couldn’t still be dealt at some point before the NFL trade deadline later this fall. Until the Seahawks can come to terms on a contract extension with their Pro Bowl receiver, the rumors won’t die down any time soon. Especially if they enter the season with Drew Lock as their starting quarterback and few other roster improvements.

The best time for a Metcalf trade, if it happens, would be at some point before the end of the first round of April 28’s NFL Draft. Despite the Seahawks not showing any interest in listening to trade offers just yet, some NFL insiders continue to believe a trade is possible, and the potential cost may surprise you.

Would a first-round pick be enough to acquire DK Metcalf?

Speaking on ESPN’s Get Up on Friday, Jeremy Fowler added a few interesting tidbits regarding the ongoing Metcalf situation in Seattle.
