Right now the negotiations are happening through the media. First you see the report that a team has offered a 3rd and then you see the report that they want a 1st and a 2nd. Let's say, for the sake of argument, that it shakes out to pick #55 and Romeo Doubs for D.K. Metcalf, a 2025 6th, and a 2026 4th. In that case, I would actually be fine giving him the contract for 32M AAV for a few reasons:1) This FA class doesn't have many players worth spending big on; I'm not opposed to signing Darius Slayton, but I would rather spend twice the money on Metcalf.2) The Packers are unlikely to give big extensions to any of the receivers currently on the roster, so the position can handle a big cap hit for the next ~3 seasons. 3) The role/skillset that Metcalf brings carries outsized value to the offense beyond his actual production; they must find someone who threatens vertically.  4) Goal 1A for the organization is and must-be getting Love's progress back on track; if that doesn't happen, basically nothing else matters.</blockquote>
