DK Metcalf requests trade [update: Steelers trade 2nd round pick for DK Metcalf and signed Metcalf to a new 5yr/$150M deal]
Metcalf would be a steal. He's outperformed Samuel by over 1500 yards and 26 TD's statistically but he's only the 13th highest paid WR. Samuel is the 14th.
He however is still in that Terry Mclauren category of WR statistically and McLaurin is around the 16th highest paid WR.
Conversely Cooper Kupp is the 9th highest paid.
