NFL Coach Suggests DK Metcalf Trade to Chargers: 'Would Be Scary' with Justin Herbert

The Los Angeles Chargers are potentially just a move or two away from being contenders, and one NFL coach had a suggestion for the team this offseason.

Per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, an NFL coordinator said the Chargers should trade for Seattle Seahawks star receiver DK Metcalf.

"The Seahawks can still get good value for him, and he could pair with Ladd McConkey for a good inside-out tandem," the coordinator said. "[Justin] Herbert to Metcalf would be scary. I think [Los Angeles] will be looking to help the quarterback in a big way."

As the coordinator noted, the Chargers already have an elite receiver in Ladd McConkey, who Los Angeles picked 34th overall in the 2024 draft. As a rookie, McConkey collected 1,149 receiving yards and seven touchdowns to lead the team.

His best game of the season came in the Chargers' wild-card loss to the Houston Texans when he notched 197 yards and a touchdown on nine receptions.

Metcalf had a solid year with the Seahawks, picking up 992 receiving yards and five touchdowns in 15 games.

With McConkey as the Chargers' No. 1 option and Metfcalf playing the WR2 role, Los Angeles could finally give Justin Herbert the star power he needs to lead the team to playoff success.
