Before the New England Patriots added Stefon Diggs and Mack Hollins in free agency, there was a thought that they could potentially make a big splash with a major wide receiver trade.
Of course, nothing came to fruition, and the Patriots were forced to settle. The biggest name New England fans were hoping for was D.K. Metcalf, who was ultimately dealt from the Seattle Seahawks to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
But you can rest easy, Pats fans. The team never had a realistic shot of landing Metcalf.
Las Vegas Raiders coach Pete Carroll — who coached Metcalf in Seattle — recently appeared on Marshawn Lynch's podcast and revealed that he tried to bring Metcalf to the Raiders, and apparently the two-time Pro Bowl receiver had been interested in joining Las Vegas.
