to a three-year 72 million dollar extension. We have
the full breakdown of the details of the deal at PFT
30 million dollar signing bonus.
That's a record for receivers who have 43 million cash in
hand by May 15 of 2023, and most importantly miles. This
isn't one of those deals with a bunch of phony baloney BS. On
the back end, the ties, the
guy to the team until he's 32 years old.
And it's a three-year extension on a one-year commitment. He's
got four years and he's back at it again. He's
a free agent or he gets a contract extension before. Then
he's still going to be in his prime. When this contract is
ready to be renegotiated or expires.
Well, it's one of those deals were, you know, it's a win-win,
right? You get the team,
you know, you have your best receiver. One of the top
receivers in the NFL, I don't think that, you know I'm saying
it. Hang out of school. When I say that,
you know, he really is really, really good and he made Russell
Wilson. Look great. So I feel like you got somebody like DK,
Metcalf, that's the type of thing that you want to do
you draft, you develop you reward. That's the way it
should be. And so, the fact that Metcalf, you know, gets
a new contract will probably get a new contract when he's still
in his prime. That's great for him
and if you're the Seahawks, you have somebody who can help you
up, Lift the offense when you're going to have ostensibly
Geno Smith or Drew lock, be your starting quarterback
because frankly they're going to need
that
and they're also going to need. Now that they have DK Metcalf
and offense, that more creatively gets the ball in his
hands more so than just run your past Route and if you're
open the quarterback will throw it to you.
Use them like Deebo Samuel, put him in the backfield jet sweeps
bubble, screens quick passes ways to ensure that he has
the ball. And can take off with it and start running past or
around or through people with that incredible physique that
he has.
But now that you're paying him,
I think it's important to use him.
And something I thought of Miles as
you were talking, just now
about him becoming a free agent again,
or at for the first time when he's 27 because he didn't
become a free agent, obviously
I wonder whether or not Pete Carroll and John Schneider were
willing to do a three-year extension when
most Most teams would insist
on something more than that a longer commitment. We're giving
you all this money up front. We need more years to spread it
out. We want you four more years beyond that.
We want to have the benefit of that fourth and fifth year of
the extension if you're still playing at a high level because
even if you tear up those last two years,
when you only do a three-year extension is under contract for
four years, you're back in a spot where you got to figure
out what you're going to do a decrease. Metcalfe
after two or three years
he can put the squeeze on you after only three more years.
What if he really bought? Here's my theory and it's not
just crazy.
What the hell are you talking about it? Meshes with another
story that's been percolating about the Seahawks.
They're going to be for sale sooner rather than later.
I believe. Now, if they're sold before, met one of 2024,
the state of Washington gets 10% of the proceeds, which means
they're not going to be sold before May 1
of 2024. But this contract to me
kind of has a little bit of a
The next owner can figure out what to do with DK, Metcalf
vibe to it and maybe at some point in the next four years
there's going to be a new owner for the team. I that's what
I read into this that it would have been a four-year
extension. Why would have been a four-year extension? I think,
within the next four years, I think
this contract may be the clue that in the next four years is
going to be a new owner. The Seattle Seahawks
then, didn't they already? Well, I guess they said that
the Seahawks aren't for sale Right now but wasn't
a statement that it would right now. Yeah, that's what
I thought
everybody. Everybody read, everybody read the first
paragraph and said oh they're not for sale and you read
the third paragraph is like oh God they're going to be for sale
it's just a question of when. Yeah and it's and when when
is after May 1 of 2024 so it ought to give 10%. You think
about it? I get six billion for the team. You want to write
a check for 600 million to the state of Washington, he'll
know.
So
yeah, it's it's It's the clock is ticking and I think that
contract is a weird, kind of a backhanded clue was, why
wouldn't you, why wouldn't you ask for a fourth year? Because
again,
if you get a fourth year
and he's got a contract for five years,
you get four years before, you're back in a spot where
the heat's on you to pay him again. It's just like, the Dak
Prescott Dia,
the cowboy is going to be right back at it and Prescott,
managed to get the leverage that allowed him to insist on
a four-year deal.
But But it it it accelerates the timeline that you have to
deal with. Again, my point is, by the time they have to deal
with it again, it's not going to
be Carolyn Schneider that has to deal with it. It's not going
to be Jody. Everyone has to deal with it. It's going to be
whoever
ends up, buying that team 456
billion dollars.
Yeah, I was going to bring that up to I mean Pete Carroll's age
obviously like it's a thing you know, we got the oldest head
coach in the NFL up there so
I don't think that that's
a non-factor we're talking about. Players. And you know,
the way that they are going to be under contract or are not
going to be under contract made like
Peak here because I'm going to coach forever.
I mean, he still has a youthful energy and Youthful Vibe about
him and I don't think he's like, I'm gonna be gone like
tomorrow. But like, and you and a youthful had a blond hair all
of a sudden two,
sure, you noticed that, hey, did you see Russell Wilson on
Twitter? Oh, congratulations DK. I would have told him to
kick rocks man, get out.
Ha ha ha.
Good and you're gone. Get out of here.
They send me a text privately, it doesn't have to be that
public corny. It wasn't that long a man. It wasn't that long
ago that Russell Wilson and DK Metcalf were openly talking
about
like setting the record for the most touchdowns ever by
a quarterback in a receiver, isn't it? Funny how that just
goes out the window?
Yeah, it sure is.
Yeah, you just sending me, congrats all the way from
Denver. If it snows on your house.
Wow. I it will eventually because he he lives in Denver
and we know that in Denver, it can snow one day and be 80
degrees. The next day in June,
