The Green Bay Packers didn’t quite meet the lofty expectations plenty had for them this season. They went 11-6 and lost in the wild-card round of the playoffs to the eventual Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, and it is now clear they need to go out and bring in a couple of difference-makers to contend for a Vince Lombardi Trophy of their own.
One of their needs is a game-changing wide receiver, especially with Christian Watson expected to miss a good chunk of the 2015 season due to a torn ACL. They have been linked in recent days to Seattle Seahawks star wideout DK Metcalf, and Corbin Smith, a journalist who covers the Packers, reported that the team has made an offer for Metcalf.
One team to keep close tabs on: the Packers. A source indicated they have had discussions with Seahawks this week and have an offer on the table that includes a high pick and a young receiver on roster to acquire Metcalf.
Obvious connection to Schneider as well.

What would Green Bay have to give up to land Metcalf? According to Smith, it would take the team’s No. 23 pick in this April’s draft and one of its promising young wideouts.
Based on what I’ve heard, for #Seahawks to move DK Metcalf, trade would have to be structured to receive No. 23 and either Romeo Doubs or Dontaryion Wicks in exchange for receiver and one of their early day three selections.
Anything less than that, it’s not happening.

Metcalf is the type of legitimate playmaker the Packers need in order to take the next step forward. He has made the Pro Bowl twice in his six NFL seasons, and he has gone over the 1,000-yard mark three times. In 2024, he caught 66 passes for 992 yards and five touchdowns in 15 games while averaging 15.0 yards per reception.
He possesses good speed (he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.33 seconds just prior to being drafted in 2019), and at age 27, he should have several productive years left.
