Seahawks, Chargers are co-favorites for D.K. Metcalf
Currently, DraftKings has the Seahawks and the Chargers as +300 co-favorites for Metcalf.
The Patriots aren't far behind, at +350. The Texans are fourth at +550, followed by the Raiders at +700 and the Steelers and Broncos at 12-1.
It's surprising the Seahawks have such low odds. Given the way word surfaced — with the Metcalf news landing at a time when the Seahawks were trying to give receiver Tyler Lockett a proper sendoff — the Seahawks reportedly are salty. The current momentum points toward a divorce.
What'll it take? As explained on Wednesday, while 49ers receiver Deebo Samuel isn't looking for a new deal on his way through the door in Washington (the trade becomes official on Wednesday), Metcalf is. Dianna Russini of TheAthletic.com reports that he's looking for $30 million per year, and that the Seahawks want a first- and third-round pick.
That's what the Eagles gave the Titans for receiver A.J. Brown (Metcalf's Ole Miss teammate) three years ago. Metcalf's next team will have to strike the right balance between paying the player and satisfying his current team. The more money they give Metcalf, the less capital they'll want to sent to Seattle. And vice-versa. It becomes a thee-way negotiation, that requires two needles to be threaded by his next team.
Still, the overall circumstances (capped by the news of Metcalf wanting out becoming the turd in the punch bowl of what should have been Tyler Lockett Day) suggest that this thing could move, quickly. And that, come next Wednesday at 4:00 p.m. ET, Metcalf could indeed officially be on a new team.

New Raiders coach Pete Carroll confident they are 'gonna win a bunch' this season after recent struggles
Pete Carroll isn't holding back on how great he thinks the Raiders are going to be this fall. The longtime coach is now leading the way in Las Vegas, and he's extremely confident that he'll turn the franchise around, and quickly. 'We gotta win a ton. We've gotta win a bunch of games … I've been winning 10 games a year for 20 years or something now,' Carroll said on Tuesday. 'What are my expectations? We're gonna win bunch, and I don't care who hears that. It doesn't matter to me.' Now, it's easy to want to ignore a coach speaking this way at the start of training camp. Honestly, it'd be way more surprising if a coach wasn't exuding confidence at this point of the season. Advertisement [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] But Carroll is taking over a franchise that has been in, well, turmoil for years now. After 14 seasons and a Super Bowl win with the Seattle Seahawks, Carroll split with the franchise after the 2023 campaign. He was then hired to replace Antonio Pierce in Las Vegas in January, which makes him the team's fifth head coach over the last five seasons. They also parted with general manager Tom Telesco after just one season, too. The Raiders went just 4-13 last season and finished last in their division. They've made the playoffs just once over the last eight years, and they haven't won a postseason game since their run to the Super Bowl during the 2002 campaign. So the Raiders opted to bring in Carroll to try and right the ship. Based on his track record — he had a stretch where the Seahawks won double-digit games eight times over nine seasons, and he missed the playoffs just four times in Seattle — it's a decent strategy. Carroll brought in Chip Kelly to be his offensive coordinator, too. The pair will start to build an offense around quarterback Geno Smith and rookie running back Ashton Jeanty, among others. The Raiders struck deals with veteran safety Jamal Adams and cornerback J.T. Woods on Tuesday afternoon, too, which should only bolster their defense. Advertisement The Raiders have plenty of work to do to legitimately turn things around. But, at least at the start of camp, there's reason to believe they are on the right path. And Carroll has no doubt that he'll get his new group there.

Free agent S Quandre Diggs fully healthy, cleared to play
Free agent safety Quandre Diggs is fully healthy and cleared to play in 2025, Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports. Diggs had his 2024 season cut short with a Lisfranc injury on Nov. 3, which required surgery on his foot to repair. Advertisement He spent last season in Tennessee, signing with the Titans last August, five months after the Seahawks released him. Diggs started the first eight games of the season, totaling 42 tackles. The Lions made Diggs a sixth-round pick in 2015, and he has appeared in 145 games with 120 starts. He has recorded 24 interceptions with 56 passes defensed and five forced fumbles. The three-time Pro Bowler had started every possible game the four previous seasons before his injury last season.
