Recently, trade rumors generated buzz surrounding the Los Angeles Chargers' interest in Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf. This speculation stemmed from a comment by an anonymous NFL executive, which resonated with the Chargers' need to enhance their offense around new addition Ladd McConkey.
Chargers linebacker Daiyan Henley expressed excitement over the trade chatter, sharing training footage with Metcalf on social media, indicating players are attuned to offseason discussions. However, any potential trade for Metcalf would require significant assets, alongside the consideration of his hefty $31.9 million cap hit due to his impending contract expiration. Last season, Metcalf's performance saw him catch just 66 of 108 targets, raising questions about his fit with Chargers' quarterback Justin Herbert.
