The Green Bay Packers made headlines over last 24 hours when it was reported that they have an offer on the table for Seattle Seahawks star wide receiver DK Metcalf. While there have been conflicting reports about what conversations have been had, many analysts are convinced that Green Bay is at least interested.
However, they may be competing with an AFC squad for Metcalf.
Packers Face 2nd Team in DK Metcalf Sweepstakes (Report)
This offseason, the Green Bay Packers are searching for a genuine No. 1 wide receiver. There’s no doubt that DK Metcalf, the star pass catcher for the Seahawks, fits the bill perfectly. It seems that Gutekunst’s chances of landing Metcalf might be challegened:
Sources tell Karen Guregian and Chris Mason at MassLive that the Raiders are the favorites to land Metcalf if Seattle decides to move him in the coming weeks. The logic behind that transaction is simple. Metcalf moving to Las Vegas would allow him to reunite with former head coach Pete Carroll.
Of course, the new regime in Seattle is under no obligation to do their former head man a favor. If the Packers are willing to make the highest offer they should win the race to acquire Metcalf. At the very least, Green Bay should reach out to the Seahawks to see what it might take to bring in the physical wideout.
There is no overstating how well Metcalf would fit within Matt LaFleur’s offense. It is important to the Packers that they take advantage of Love’s ability to throw deep routes with precision as often as possible in 2025. The Green Bay offense did not possess a true deep threat that could show off Love’s arm strength. In fact, that issue hindered the Packers from making a deep run in the postseason.
It will be interesting to see if Green Bay is able to pull the trigger on a move that would completely change the offense.
