Will APB's dream finally come true? (Albeit 6 years later).

Get it done!
Some reports say Seahawks want 1st round pick, young receiver and a day 3 pick. That sounds too rich. Also, Metcalf is entering the last year of his contract. For the Packers to give up a high pick, they likely would need Metcalf to agree to a contract extension. Still, Seahawks need cap room (they are 7 million over the cap), so a deal is possible.

Day 3 picks aren’t that precious and odds are against the German Shepherd hitting on a pick at 23 or wherever the Pack pick.

If the Packers trade for Metcalf, it'd probably be and 2nd and Wicks or Doubs to go. We'd probably get a 7th back.
Gosh - can’t see them giving up Doubs. I’d be fine w/ Wicks or Watson even.
The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.

From the Seahags perspective, would you want a guy who's been concussed twice in the past season and also ditched the team briefly when he was unhappy? I think they'd rather have the higher-upside Watson, who will likely heal by the end of next season. Still he'd have question marks about health, too, but of a different nature.

Doubs is also the lowest celing receiver on the roster.
Interesting, because Doubs would be the first of those three that I would let go. Watson and Wicks scream potential above average. Doubs will be what he has been; good, mostly reliable, not an impact player. Doubs is more easily replaced. He has never had a 100 yard game during the regular season, has had only two games with more than 80 yards. He has no receptions of 40 or more yards. He breaks few tackles and has minimal YAC.
I'd be all for a trade for Metcalf. Wicks would be the one I'd most want to part with. He has regressed a lot. Doubs may have a low ceiling, but he's most likely of those three to reach that ceiling and stay there. Also, he'd fit in best with Metcalf - a consistent possession guy to go with the field stretcher. Excellent if we could make it happen with a second rounder, still good if even if it takes a first rounder.
What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?
This whole Metcalf trade rumor is intriguing. It's probably just that, a rumor. I don't know if Metcalf is worthy giving up the 23rd pick, plus more. If this rumor does have any weight, it'll be a very interesting offseason.
Wicks regressed, but a lot of players have a second year slump. I'd guess he's going to bounce back in 2025.
Watson can’t stay on the field and there’s no evidence he ever will. Trade an injured WR w/ upside for a known high caliber WR.
No matter what - we need at least one, maybe 2 veterans in the the offense besides a quiet Love and the recently outspoken Jacobs.

Well of course - that would seem obvious. But Seattle is asking ALSO for a first round pick, I think, or maybe a second. That's a lot to part with for a guy who will have a big contract and probably only about two or three more really great years.

I'm actually more concerned about Doubs' head than I am about Watson's injuries. Watson seemed to get the hamstring issues behind him last year. Knee injuries happen kind of randomly. Doubs' second concussion last year, on a routine play, while wearing the added protection of a Guardian helmet cover, is concerning.
Deebo Samuel is worth a fifth.
A 1st and a player is way too much for Metcalf.
Yes. Teams that give up proven stars like Samuel and potentially Metcalf are stupid - seemingly, and hopefully the Packers can take advantage and get him cheap. Metcalf is worth more than Sameul, but not that much more.
I wonder if there are extenuating circumstances, though. Maybe fans of some other teams are reading about the Packers letting Jaire go cheap and thinking the same sort of thing.

Is he worth just a 1st round pick alone? History sort of tells us that GB doesn't value the position to be worthy of 1st round picks, and Metcalf is not great, just very good. Fewer than 450 receptions in 6 seasons isn't elite.
Deebo from 2021 would be worth more. 2024 Deebo isn't as good as 2024 Melcalf and it may be a bigger delta in 2025.
