There were reports that the New England Patriots were exploring a potential trade for Seattle Seahawks receiver D.K. Metcalf.
However, it seems that is unlikely to happen.
The Athletic's Jeff Howe reported on Monday that the Seahawks intend to keep Metcalf for the final season of his three-year, $72 million deal. And because of their winning record the past three seasons, Howe explains that "it doesn’t make sense to trim one of their best players."
Now, things could always change during contract negotiations. But at the moment, the New England Patriots and others who are trying to get creative at wideout, will have to focus their attention elsewhere," Howe wrote.
It's no secret that the Patriots are in need a star receiver heading into the 2025 season. At first, Tee Higgins was at the top of that list, but now the Bengals have made it clear that they plan to franchise tag him. And now, Metcalf is out it seems.
Another receiver that the Patriots are keeping an eye on is Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin, however the Patriots are "doubtful" that Godwin will leave Tampa Bay this offseason.
Free agency begins next week and it's expected to be a busy one for the Patriots. Let's wait and see what they have in store.
