The Los Angeles Chargers are just getting rolling. After back-to-back wins over the New Orleans Saints and Cleveland Browns, the team sits at 5-3 and is well within striking distance of a playoff spot. But many fans would love to see the team make a deal before the trade deadline.
The position most talked about in connection with the Chargers has been the wide receiver spot. Names such as Darius Slayton and K.J.
Osborn have come up as affordable options for the team, but if there was a splash move to be made, this would be it. According to a tweet from NFL analyst John Frascella, the Seattle Seahawks could be looking for a new home for their No. 1 wide receiver, D.
K. Metcalf . He suggests that the Chargers should be keeping tabs on the situation.
BREAKING: If the Seattle Seahawks lose today, they will be SHOPPING DK Metcalf prior to Tuesday’s NFL Trade Deadline, per source. Could he be the Super Bowl piece for Jim Harbaugh, Justin Herbert and the Chargers? pic.twitter.
com/G6WDPzUkY4 The Seahawks did in fact lose on Sunday, dropping a heartbreaker to the Los Angeles Rams in overtime. If they are shopping Metcalf, the Chargers should be all ears. Chargers acquiring DK Metcalf is a pipe dream This would not be the kind of deal you usually see at the trade deadline, as Metcalf is one of the best wide receivers in the league.
But the Seahawks have an emerging star in Jaxon Smith-Njigba and if a deal for Metcalf could bring a great return, they might be willing to deal him. The one thing the Chargers don't have is a dominant wide receiver. Quentin Johnston and Ladd McConkey are both having solid years, but Metcalf would make the team a dangerous opponent for anyone.
The Chargers have a tough, physical rushing attack and a tough, physical defense. Adding one of the most physical wide receivers in football would be such a Jim Harbaugh move, and it would be one that could make the Chargers an instant contender. It seems far-fetched, but stranger things have happened.
The trade deadline is set to expire on Tuesday, November 5 at 1:00 pm PT. MORE CHARGERS CONTENT Chargers trading for Cowboys defensive tackle would cement elite defense Chargers Week 9 winners and losers Chargers most likely trade targets ahead of deadline.
