Receivers from the 2019 draft class keep signing contract extensions. Except, it seems, for DK Metcalf.

While it may appear upon initial glance that this 3-year, $71M extension, an average of $23.67M per year, for McLaurin is good news for fans who don't want the Seahawks to pay Metcalf $25M per year, the simple fact that it's a three year deal explains that. The longer a contract a player signs, the more they are able to demand in time premium for the contract, so this contract likely does not move the needle off a deal in the $25M per year range for Metcalf.

That said, congratulations to McLaurin, and now the 2019 receiver class is effectively down to Metcalf and Deebo Samuel, who share the same agent, waiting for their turn to sign an extension as the Seahawks andface off in an intra-divisional staring contest to see who gets to pay less by blinking first.More details:Roster bonuses at the start of each league year.
