The New England Patriots have "kicked the tires" on a potential trade for Seattle Seahawks star wide receiver D.K. Metcalf, as reported by Boston Herald’s Andrew Callahan and Doug Kyed.
Metcalf's name has been floated around as a potential trade candidate considering the Seahawks' poor salary cap situation. The two-time All-Pro receiver hauled in 66 catches for 992 yards and five touchdowns last season.
There are limited options for the Patriots in free agency, especially if Cincinnati Bengals' pending free agent wideout Tee Higgins receives the franchise tag. That would leave Tampa Bay Buccaneers receiver Chris Godwin and a handful of questionable veterans that might be too overpriced for the Patriots.
