Mike Garafolo: Panthers are in on DK Metcalf trade

[App Panther]

My guess it comes down to us and the Raiders and DKs preference will be the Raiders for a few obvious reasons.

The asking price has gone down from a 1st and 3rd to a 2nd. That de escalated quickly 

Even that's excessive.

I'd trade our 3rd for Metcalf. Rams 2nd wouldn't be the worst price to pay either but still a tad steep for me.

TBH, 4th seems the most reasonable.

And I believe that’s the hold up right now

If we have to turn around and pay him 30million then you are correct

I wonder if Metcalf would be wasted here. His game is the deep passing attack; that's not Bryce's strength as a passer. I feel like a really good route runner might be our ideal #1 WR.

He requested a trade when Geno was still the QB in Seattle.

IDK why he would want to go play with Geno again after trying to move away from him in the first place.

Our offense was one of the better deep passing offense the last half of the year. DC wants to throw it “over their heads.” I think we still have the idea of rookie Bryce who was scared to throw it deep.

That's basically it. There are very few teams willing to do so, and it lowers his overall trade value. If he was on year 3 of a 1st round rookie deal, he would be worth a haul.

Multiple reports DK will go to NE.  They will throw everything his way.

It will be DK last contract… he’s looking to cash in.  NE have better pick than us and waaaay more cap space.  If DK wants to cash in without a care for production, this is it.
