Instead of being on opposite sidelines Sunday, as they have been each of the last six seasons, Pro-Bowl wide receivers Deebo Samuel and DK Metcalf nearly wound up on the same team after the 2019 NFL draft.
The Seattle Seahawks wanted and intended to draft both Samuel and Metcalf in the second round of the 2019 draft, and thought they had a deal in place to do it, league sources told ESPN.
During the first round, the Seahawks traded pick No. 30 to the New York Giants for Nos.
