dk metcalf a no-show at seahawks minicamp

According to several reports, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf was not present at the team's mandatory minicamp this week. Metcalf is currently in the Los Angeles area rehabbing from offseason foot surgery, but his absence is unexcused, costing him more than $90,000 in fines.

Metcalf is in the last season of his current rookie deal, with only a $4.3 million cap hit. Translation: WAY less than what he's worth, and he knows it. The Seahawks have reiterated that getting a new deal done with Metcalf is a priority, but talks between sides are currently at a standstill. Additionally, with the recent departures of both Russell Wilson and Bobby Wagner (two of the faces of the franchise), it makes you wonder if Seattle wants to go into Full Rebuild Mode and deal Metcalf for draft picks.

While both sides seem confident they will reach a deal before the 2022 season begins, this is something to monitor closely.

Can confirm D.K. Metcalf's absence from Seahawks camp is unexcused, per source. Subject to fines of up to $93K over three-day camp. Seattle has maintained that it wants to extend Metcalf but no major traction on that front yet.

• The Cleveland Browns and quarterback Baker Mayfield have mutually decided that he will be excused from the team's mandatory minicamp. Mayfield has stated all offseason that he wants to move on, and Cleveland made the move to acquire the disgrace that is Deshaun Watson. However, even with a decision on a suspension up in the air, hell will likely freeze over before Mayfield puts on a Browns jersey again.
