NFL fans noticed the same thing about Seattle Seahawks superstar wide receiver DK Metcalf during their “Thursday Night Football” contest with the San Francisco 49ers.

DK Metcalf and the Seattle offense struggled during the first half against their archrivals. He was held to one catch for 30 yards, and Seattle mustered only 133 yards of offense over the first 30 minutes.

During the game, cameras caught Metcalf looking frustrated on the sidelines while the visitors were up 13-0.

And as you would have expected, social media had all sorts of interesting reactions:

 

Coming into today’s game, Metcalf has 28 receptions for 421 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He posted his 1,114 yards last season, his best personal mark since racking up 1,303 in 2020.

DK Metcalf & Seahawks Are In Trouble

The Seahawks jumped out to a perfect 3-0 start and looked like playoff contenders early in the season. But a loss on Thursday night would drop them to 3-3 and put the 49ers in the driver’s seat for the NFC West division crown.

Seattle will travel to Atlanta next Sunday to visit the Falcons at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

If the Seattle Seahawks are out of the NFL playoff race leading up to the Nov. 5 trade deadline, rival teams should be calling GM John Schneider about a potential deal for superstar wide receiver DK Metcalf.

There are no indicators that DK Metcalf wants to leave the Seahawks. But the 26-year-old is only signed through 2025, and judging by the wide receiver market this summer, it’s safe to say Metcalf’s next contract will easily cost over $100 million.

Metcalf might even be hesitant to sign an extension with the Seahawks if they look nothing like a contender this year. With 2023 first-round pick Jaxon-Smith Njigba in place, the Hawks could decide that Metcalf is expendable and put him on the trade block.

If there’s one team that should be “all-in” on a DK Metcalf trade, it’s Jerry Jones’ Dallas Cowboys. Remember, Jones said in January that his team would have an “all-in” approach to the offseason.

 

The Cowboys haven’t made any blockbuster trades or free agent signings this offseason. But what if Jones saved his best move for last and made a deal for a superstar wideout like DK Metcalf, who would form an explosive duo with CeeDee Lamb?

Like Lamb, Metcalf has made a compelling case as a top-five wide receiver in football. Dak Prescott had a career year in 2023 with Lamb as his only game-changing weapon, so imagine if Metcalf joined the party.

What Cowboys Should Offer Seahawks For DK Metcalf

Two years ago, the Las Vegas Raiders gave up 2022 first and second-round picks to the Green Bay Packers for Davante Adams. So 2025 first and second-round picks will likely be a starting point in negotiations for DK Metcalf, with Dallas potentially having to offer more.

Seattle may want another WR as part of the return, so perhaps first and second-round picks along with third-year receiver Jalen Tolbert could get it done. It would be a quality return for a retooling Seahawks team, while a Prescott-Lamb-Metcalf trio could help Dallas get over the hump and win the Super Bowl once and for all.
