Frequently Asked Questions
Why isn't DK Metcalf at Seattle's mandatory mini-camp?
DK Metcalf is not present for Seattle's mandatory mini-camp because he's rehabbing from foot surgery he had early in the off-season. He also wants a new contract extension and is waiting on a deal from the Seahawks.
What would the Bears have to give up to trade for DK Metcalf?
One proposed trade package would have the Bears giving up their 2023 2nd and 3rd round picks plus a 2024 2nd rounder for DK Metcalf. The goal would be to acquire him without giving up their 2023 first round pick.
How good has DK Metcalf been in his NFL career so far?
Since entering the NFL three years ago, DK Metcalf has 3,170 total receiving yards and 29 touchdowns. At 24 years old, he's already established himself as a WR1 and is 6'4, 235 pounds with 4.3 speed.
How would DK Metcalf fit with Justin Fields and the Bears offense?
Metcalf would be a perfect fit because Justin Fields throws a beautiful deep ball, and defenses would have to deal with both DK Metcalf and Darnell Mooney stretching the field. The combination could transform the Bears receiving room from bottom ten to potentially top ten.
What is the Bears' current wide receiver situation without DK Metcalf?
The Bears currently have Darnell Mooney as their top receiver, with recent additions Velus Jones Jr. and Byron Pringle. While the writer likes these players, adding DK Metcalf would significantly upgrade the receiving room and help maximize Justin Fields' development.
