I hope he is signed to a contract soon. We will need him as a team leader… and without a star quarterback, he is our biggest offensive threat.
Seahawks…please just get the contract done. Last year, having a couple of the team leaders feel as if they needed to hold out was counter-productive. Both the offensive line and the defensive backfield struggled as a result. Having the veteran players present during practice helps to mentor the younger players and establish friendships and respect within the group. The Seahawks management could help build the feeling of team and trust by getting DK into camp now!
I feel as if the Seahawk players have not really had a true “team mindset” since the SuperBowl loss. Many of the team leaders left or were released… Maybe so that Russ could be the “team leader”. Then, free agent veterans were “plugged in” to fill holes in the line-up, hoping to make it back to the Bowl during a “window of opportunity”. For the Seahawk players, the feeling of being part of a team must have been diminished, because there was no longer a group…only people coming and going from a job.
Now we have an exciting and refreshing time, because our rookies and new players are really strong. They will have a chance to develop that feeling of trust and friendship among themselves. By signing DK Metcalf (one of our own homegrown stars) to a contract right away, rather than management “holding out” for a few extra dollars, the Seahawks would show an example of “team spirt” to the young stars that it will be counting on for the future.
Please sign DK now!
