I would think a team that missed the playoffs but thinks it will compete soon would be ideal. The bears hold the no. 1 and no. 9 pick. Maybe they think Fields needs a legit target. Metcalf for No. 9 would be hard to turn down.

But here's another thought: As you said, the Bears have the #1 overall pick in this year's draft and there's talk that they may move away from Fields, so how about a swap, Metcalf for Fields? I'm not necessarily advocating it, but it does suggest an interesting possibility.

We aren't going to trade away his best target. Besides, with Geno's guarantee being so (relatively) cap friendly for a starting QB I don't think we'll need DK's cap savings.
MackStrongIsMyHero wrote:Devil's advocate in me says that keeping Geno instead of cutting him means other teams have to offer a trade to get Geno. Geno has value as a starter in a league where there aren't 32 starting caliber QBs. Not saying they are aiming to trade him, just that they wanted to be prepared to entertain offers. Should none come, they are really no worse off.
My guess is both Geno and DK will be Seahawks this coming season.

NorthHawk wrote:OvertheCap and Spotrac disagree. One says we have $5M in Cap room and the other says we are $11M or something near that over. Regardless it's very tight.
Maybe trade Geno instead and cut Adams and Diggs to start the process of clearing Cap space.
