I think nostalgia is playing a role in how you feel about that. That's the rivalry from you/we were kids, so it's always going to mean something a little different.
No, that is definitely not the case. I think there were two maybe three years were playing he 49ers was awesome. Still doesn’t have the same vibe as the Broncos and Raiy to me. Every single time we played those two teams was hands-down more fun to watch than it is today with the Rams and 49ers.
Weak WR draft and no WR of note other then old dudes like Adams on the free agent market, so I think a first plus is possible.
Deebo looks broken, so not exactly the same situation, but yeah it's an example of what could happen.
My opinion on what the Seahawks could get for Metcalf goes back and forth. On one hand when a player expects a new contract for lots of money, it lowers his trade value a good bit normally. There are exceptions to this like what the Packers got for Adams for example (JS should bring that trade up if they want Metcalf). Metcalf is 27 and won't be 28 until December so just in his prime and while his stats don't equal Adams numbers he does draw a lot of the defense attention in a way most WR don't and his size, speed , experience and success despite all that defensive attention is note worthy and he will be VERY hard to replace. Supply and demand works out for the Seahawks if they trade him, as this draft is weak for top tier WRs and free agency has no one real attractive at WR and there are plenty of teams that could use a player like Metcalf and it only takes one team willing to pay up.
