The case for trading, rather than extending, DK Metcalf

It’s been a busy offseason for NFL wide receivers, with players across the league signing top of market extensions that have pushed the salary expectations at the position to all time highs. With both DK Metcalf of the Seattle Seahawks and Deebo Samuel of the San Francisco 49ers extension eligible, if either of those two do land an extension worth more than $20M per year, they would become the tenth receiver to sign for $20M or more since the 2021 season ended.

Now nine (9) wide receivers signing multi-year extensions for $20M+ annually this offseason alone
