DK Metcalf officially requests a trade (UPDATE: He's a Steeler)

[slash83]

Metcalf cost a 2nd and he needed a contract. In what world is Aiyuk a 4th?

Aiyuk is coming off a torn knee, that’s why.

 

[festy1986]

How about we actually let this play out given he is the new coach. Also given the fact he has had some success building a team, and he was apart of drafting A.J. Brown....a wide out the pats havent been able to do

That's the other hilarious thing. The only way AJ is traded is if it's a demand.

But who really wants that guy? Ya I'll take him because his extremely talented. But he's a head case. He's always unhappy with his contract, he buttheads with his coach and teammates and you can't even count on him to be focused and not read a book in the middle of a game.

So yes. Get him if he's available. And yes, it will blow up sooner than later.

As for waiting? Why should I wait to ***** about what they haven't done yet? I'm just as ready to give them credit when they do something great. I don't disappear when they make game changing positive trades.

And this is why we are never going to get him. Someone will pay more than a 4 for Aiyuk because WR's matter in this league and we will talk ourselves down.

 

[festy1986]

Just because you might be able to get a guy does not mean you should get the guy.

I am very much on the side of if the Pats want a guy enough they could him. I for one am glad they did not make a move for Thuney, Jonah Jackson or DK. Not sure why you feel like they could swing the trade? Our 2nd is not the same as Pittsburghs 2nd.

They can't do nothing. It's not even about DK. It's about the culmination of all the WR they already have missed out on. They don't grow on trees.

I can't wait for the threads on Hopkins and Lockett when we sign them talking about how we go the steals of free agency. You know it's coming.

Change it to Diggs and Cooper.
and I won’t hate it.
But I am still hoping for a AJ Brown, Jameson Williams, or George Pickens miracle.

I agree with Giardi. Aiyuk is a great route runner and would probably fit the McDaniels system better. Even if 2025 is a rehab year, I will take it if he can return to be a 1300 yard receiver again in 2026.

 

[dliverey44]

I'm right every year. I'm tired of dealing with takes like this.

At some point y'all gonna stop making excuses as to why the Patriots haven't addressed their WR problem.

In a different thread 20 minutes before this news broke someone came at me because I said this team can't even land a middling talent like Adams "bUT hE saID he wOULd OnLy Play oUT wEsT"

It's literally excuse after excuse.

Until Vrabel puts together a team that's different than how the last two coaches addressed the issue then he will be held to the same standard.

All fair points, you have been burned enough that you are not willing to change the standard level despite a new coach. I am willing to give the new regime a clean slate. I also was not interested in DK, Deebo, or Adams so its not bothering as much as you. I do get it though.

He's right EVERY YEAR, he says so himself.
He's a fkn genius, he's better than ANY GM on the planet.
Fkn LOSER.

They need to give Drake something.
Seriously gotta secure Hunter in this draft or take one of the 6 WRs I have ranked.

That’s the price now

They trade for Aiyuk, they can still sign Godwin or someone else.

 

[slash83]

And this is why we are never going to get him. Someone will pay more than a 4 for Aiyuk because WR's matter in this league and we will talk ourselves down.

Think it’s safe to say NE won’t be acquiring any good WR this offseason, in any manner.

If they lose out on Godwin then what?

I brought up A.J. as he was drafted while Vrabel was the coach..I am not talking about picking him up in a trade or etc.


You wait cuz again you have a new coach who seems to have an understanding of how you should build your team..

Looking at the eagles their offensive n defensive lines are pretty legit. And most of that was built thru the draft...they then went out and drafted a receiver then cont to add offensive pieces after...

Still waiting to see how that "big name" receiver was the reason any team won a SB...

I was once almost banned cause I said DeVante Parker was washed when the pats traded for him.

You probably thought it was a home run.

But who knows. You're on your second or third burner account.

DK in December

"What have I done?"

 

[scott99]

If there was a dislike, I would do that. I disagree 1,000,000 % with Giardi.

Blew out his ACL AND MCL, won’t be 100% until 2026 most likely. Don’t want to pay 30 mill a year for a guy to sit in the stands.
