2025 NFL Off-Season

[Jaydubb]

No way I am giving that type of compensation on top of a big contract for a B tier receiver pushing 30. Third and a fifth or no deal.

There are many talented receivers in the league and many more in the pipeline, no need to make desperate moves at that position.

Last year 32 year old deandre Hopkins and 32 year old davante adams were both traded for basically that, a 3rd. Dk metcalf will be 27 for all but like 2 games during the 2025 season.

Yeah, he's just being ridiculous. Because he has a hate boner for the guy.

I mentioned this already, but if you look at his first 5 years of production in the league, it's very similar to that of Terrell Owen's. He's been a very productive receiver throughout his career.

[Jaydubb]

Calvin Ridley after being suspended for a year, was traded for a 3rd in 2022. I’d say dk metcalfs career has been better than Ridley’s career up until that point (age 27 season) and metcalf doesn’t come with a 1 year suspension.

Even after their first 6 years it’s similar. And T.O played the first 3 years of his career with Steve young and part of his 4th. The TDs are in T.Os favor but he also had a 16TD season in year 6.lol

[Jaydubb]

I really think Washington should trade for DK. DK and terry mclaurin would be a lotta fun. It’d actually be a similar 1-2 punch as how it is in philly with AJ brown and devonta smith.

It's been reported that three teams have made offers. Packers, Patriots & a mystery team.

I honestly don't love the idea myself. This year's draft class is pretty poor. So, they can't really replace his production. Tyler Lockett will likely be a cap casualty himself. Outside of JSN, they wouldn't have much. The timing just isn't great.

[Mariner]

T.O first 4 years were his worst years. Probably because he wasn’t starting all off them. The game has changed since 1996. lol
Comparing passing numbers from the 90s to now is very disingenuous.
I’m not bashing DK. He’s good. Any team would be fortunate to have him. I just think the compensation is very high.

[Cactus Jack]

I just think the compensation is very high.

If you're a team that wants to add a receiver. Would you rather draft one in the 20's this year? Or add someone the caliber of Metcalf instead? Take money out of the equation. You won't find a better receiver available in this draft class.

You’re probably right. But I can’t take money out of the equation. Four years on the cheap is huge. If I’m a team focusing on mainly one year then maybe.

I guess you don’t like
Burden
Golden
Egbuka
I even see mocks where McMillan is taken close to 20.

Money is obviously always part of the equation but if you have a qb on a rookie contract then it offsets that somewhat. That’s part of the reason why I think it’d be a good move for Washington. They don’t have to pay Daniels for like 3-4 more years, coincidentally around the same time dk metcalfs contract would be getting closer to coming off the books.

None of those guys have the same ceiling. McMillan will be a top 10 pick. He won't be an option for teams like Green Bay.

This is a VERY weak WR class. That's precisely why Metcalf would have value. If you want a big threat X receiver, DK is your best bet.

[Jaydubb]

I like the tight ends in this draft class more than the WRs. I almost expect the eagles to go tight end in round 2 or 3

[Jaydubb]

I think Travis hunter might be bringing up this years wr draft class but it sounds like most scouts prefer him at CB than wr anyway.

Washington might work. They have the space and their first rounder is almost a second.

It's an excellent TE class.

DT/DL, RB, TE are the strengths of this class.

If McMillan makes to 12 he’s likely the pick for Dallas.

People said the same exact same thing about the AJ brown trade. Here’s an update:

https://fansided.com/the-aj-brown-trade-was-bad-in-the-moment-and-somehow-looks-worse-years-later

AJ Brown was 3 years younger and depends less on speed and athleticism.

Why you acting like dk metcalf is old?lol

AJ Brown was traded when he was 24, so you think 24 year old receiver and a 27 year old receiver has the same draft compensation value? lol

There is a huge gap between a third and a first and a third. Not to mention both those deal blew up on buyers' face

Metcalf will ask for a 4 year contract at least, and even if you have the most optimistic projections for him front half of the deal back end of it he'll be 29 year old receiver who depends on his speed. So you are stuck with a 30 million dollar aging receiver who was never top of the line to begin with, and you gave up a chance to get a player who is cap controlled for 5 years and then some. Nobody is comfortable with that except for maybe Jerry Jones

Nope. But that trade looked like bad value for AJ brown even when it happened, the titans probably should’ve gotten more. They showed Mike vrabel in the draft room as the trade was being announced and he looked like he wanted to hit somebody.
