Philadelphia is also sideline reporter for the Philadelphia
Eagles. Not a guy that breaks a lot of news NFL related, but he
is kind of plugged into the broader. Yeah, FL Matrix.
He had a report yesterday. I think it's important to
understand what he was reporting and what he wasn't
reporting. He reported the Jets were willing to offer the 10th
overall pick in the 2022, draft to the Seahawks for receiver DK
Medcalf,
but the Seahawks just won't even listen to offers and that
Prompted reports that the Jets never offered the 10th overall
pick and no, they didn't. If you pay attention to what
the guy said. They didn't get a chance to. Yeah,
so there's always people out there kind of gleefully saying,
you know, the oh, they reports wrong. There was no,
there was no offer. No, he never said, there was an offer,
the bigger side of this is
the notion that the Seahawks are refusing to listen to
offers now.
I'm not sure I buy that. Yeah, I mean if it's if that and
I can't refute. Yeah, right, but
how dumb would you have to be to not? Listen to offers?
That's just stupid.
Why would you not? Listen?
I don't know either, you know, and again,
you know, maybe we'll get some more details about this
situation, over the next few days that will make a make
a little more sense to us. But
I'm with you there. I mean, it goes back into
the conversation. We kind of hit on yesterday just as far as,
you know, Seattle and exactly. What are they doing? You know?
Again, we thought they were in a rebuild move. Mode. I mean
you have a chance to get the number 10 pick for DK, Metcalf.
And of course you're going to get other pics
to go along with that.
I don't know if you get the second round, pick, right? As
it being the number ten pick as compared to, you know, depicts
the the Raiders traded away.
And some of the other teams that traded
the, you know, the Kansas City Chiefs for for Tyree kill and
Davante Adams, but either way,
I mean that's a hell of a tool to have,
you know, number nine, pick number ten pick, you can do a lot of
Different things there to
figure out your team and build it for the future. So
again, I think it's one of those right now where I look at
it. Like you might kind of like maybe they're just kind of
still evaluating,
you know the room a little bit as far as what they want to do.
Exactly how the draft is going to go and maybe they're not
willing to get too deep into these conversations yet just
because they're not sure exactly
how far into the rebuild things. They want to go. It's
the only thing I can really really justify in my brain.
I feel like it would take more than the 10th overall. I'll
pick to get no definitely just obviously starting point.
Right? Right, exactly. I was saying they gonna get because
with Tyreke and Davante Adams, right? You got the
second round. Picks to go along with that first round pick, but
that for those first round picks were later in the first
round. So, the number 10 pick,
of course, has incredible value and then that's to me where
again, I was saying. Yes, it's going to take more than that.
Just that one pic, but I don't know if they get the second
round. Pick a might be the number 10 pick and a third,
rounder and a pick in next.
Year's draft. I don't know exactly how that value is going
to go. But certainly 10 is more valuable than that Chiefs or
Raiders pick that they had in the 20s to trade their
receivers away.
I doubt that they expect to first-round draft pick, right?
Maybe part of the psychology here is we gave up two
first-round draft picks for Jamal Adams and frankly that
10th overall pick
is Seattle getting, you know,
one of their first rounders back that maybe that shouldn't
be a psychological barrier. This is a separate transaction.
You've already done the Jamal Adams deal and how quickly they
have pivoted from
being a team that says F them picks
to attend. It says F
then picks. We'd like them. We're rebuilding, let's do
something with it. They've already traded they're
Untouchable guy.
That's what makes this idea that they're just hanging up
the phone before. Anybody can even blurt out the offer,
the Bengals approach to any interest that they had in
the number one overall pick two years ago. When the Dolphins
were trying to get their attention.
It's stupid. It's ludicrous. It doesn't fit with what they're
currently. Lee doing
what they're currently doing is tearing it down. So why would
you not consider tearing it down? Even further with a guy
that's going to want? Twenty seven, twenty eight million
a year. You don't have a quarterback to get him
the football. He's not going to be happy this year if it's Drew
lock
and whoever else?
Yeah. And why not? Why not sell now and get him on a team
that's going to use him. It's going to pay him and and
we're still three weeks away
and maybe a lot of them have Seahawk sir.
Maybe the Seahawks are happy. This is out there because
the message is if You want to try to get this guy? You got to
come to the table. Something more than the 10th overall
pick.
Yeah, I think this could be part of the justification or
thought process a little bit. 24
teams, maybe to figure out the board a little bit more to how
they think the draft might fall out. Oh wait, we're here at
the end of the first round, you know.
Oh man, it's not looking like we're going to get any of
the receivers. Maybe we wanted crap. Let's call the Seahawks.
Maybe we got to get make a deal for DK Metcalf.
There could be some of that going On a long, is
the themselves trying to kind of figure out where exactly they
want to go with receiver and a few other spots.
This did cross my mind to Mike thinking about this
and and please tell me if
you think it's stupid or doesn't make sense, but
maybe they're looking at DK. Metcalf is like hey,
this is
you know, the only Blue Chip guy we really got left on
the roster him and Jamal Adams at least the only real blue chip
guy in the offense. And I know Tyler lock, it's really damn
good. I don't mean disrespect that but this is Like super
freak, you
know, superhuman DK Metcalf it to me. He's in a little
different category, but maybe they look at it as like, yeah,
we want to rebuild but that's one piece. We want to keep.
He's a receiver. That's just starting his prime. We know
receivers can have a long shelf life in the NFL.
Maybe, you know, they're looking at it like, hey,
rebuilding and this day and age in the NFL is only a year or
two process
and maybe they feel like, hey, we'll keep him and we'll get
the quarterback a year from now, or a year, and a half from
now. Then we can have DK Metcalf and this new team that
we've built around a maybe that's what they're thinking.
Maybe they're thinking. This
is one guy. They're willing to keep because of his age his
talent and you know, the importance of that position
that has crossed my mind at least, you know, trying to put
myself in their shoes to a degree
where, you know, you know, they need to do. They need to pay
the guy that's the way end it. Yeah. That's the way I talk to
your, right. If you really want to keep him,
you you peel off some of that,
that major Jody a ladder, right? And you
You and, and it's only going to get more expensive, right? It's
time to spice up, your points, you know, dicey to, because of
all the things you said. You're unhappy next year. It doesn't
go. Well, all of a sudden he goes, ah, screw this place.
I like it, but
I don't see, you know, where it goes. So you're right. If
you're are going that right route. They need to pay them
like you're saying and do it quickly.
