DropKaylin Metcalf

Seriously...what is this guy's deal lately? I feel like every time he is targeted Geno is either intercepted or nearly intercepted then to top it all off he has to constantly get in Ramsey's face and draw penalites-you could tell Carroll had HAD it with him towards the end of OT telling him to chill the F out.

DK and Geno don't really seem on the same page.

gets zero separation and can't make the catches that come his way. Completely disappeared as of late. Awful route runner. He needs a come to Jesus meeting.

DK and Geno don't really seem on the same page.

They were on point earlier in the year, but now it feels like every other ball that goes to Metcalf ends up on the turf.

I'm assuming the page Geno is on is the 'Catch the balls I throw to you' page and DK is back in the index trying to find words he can use to insult opposing CBs...

Or in a DBs hands

-Lockett makes an over the shoulder TD catch with a broken wrist, while DK gets to watch another ball go right through his stone hands.

Yeah, I'm over DK Metcalf . You can't count on him. You can count on #16 with a broke hand with 10
Metal pins in it

Glad to see others are coming around about this. I've been saying this since last year. He'll make a great catch, then turn around and drop a crucial 3rd down conversion. Seems like every game. He is not worth his salary, nor his hype. And with the on field antics I'm really starting to dislike him as a player..

I'm with you. Did you see #14 on the sidelines laughing and having a good time during what was essentially a playoff game ? This guy isn't mature and does the worst possible thing at the worst time.
He should've turned a corner by now! I blame Carroll.

He seemed to have turned that corner to start the year. He was more focused on the sidelines, acknowledging he needed to help fill the leadership void with Russ and Bobby gone, and playing pretty well.

At some point the wheels fell off on all three aspects and not being in the locker room, I won't speculate as to why but I hope it can be turned around.

Didn't seem to have a problem with Ramsey after the game either, talking with him like nothing happened

He needs leadership. Tough love.

There's a big difference between being fast and being quick. DK is not quick, and therefore can't gain separation unless on a go route. The top tier receivers are quick and twitchy, he's not. He's like a lumbering freight train getting u to top speed, whereas the other guys are like nimble sports cars who can change direction on a dime while keeping up speed.

 

[Chukarhawk]

I wouldn't be surprised to see him traded before the draft. Highest upside in the league, wasted.

Can't trade him. Too much dead cap.

Doesn't the trade partner eat the cap?

 

[hgwellz12]

I am trying my HARDEST to disagree. Not working.

 

[getnasty]

Lets have Lockett go up agaisnt Sauce Gardner and Ramsey the last 2 weeks and give DK who's ever left and see what the stat lines would be.

DK draws the best corner week in and week out which makes things more open for Tyler and othes. Yeah he needs to limit the drops and keep a cool head but let's not act like he's not our most important skill position player at the moment. we

 

[renofox]

Nope. All signing bonus is accelerated.

 

[Fade]

How it works is all of the signing bonus comes due immediately, and the team trading for him only assumes the yearly salaries.

Since the Seahawks just signed him, that would be a $34.5M dead money hit for the Seahawks.

The team trading for him would have him at a bargain.

2023: $2.2M
2024: $13M
2025: $18,000,471M

The Seahawks aren't thinking about trading him for a least a season, probably two.

 

[Natethegreat]

I'm definitely tired of D.K.s' inability to just let his play do the talking. I'd also like to see fewer drops but I do think his presence matters.
If he could just grow up and not make it all about himself that'd be great.
