Whether it be his all-world speed, his competitive spirit, his dedication to his teammates, or the penalties and dropped passes, DK Metcalf is a lightning rod for criticism and projection.

What say you? How would you handle DK this off-season? Would you move on from the hulking, 1-of-1 man-child? Or, are you hitting him with an extension and doubling-down on the possibility that the Seahawks will be able to further unlock his unique abilities? Let us know in the comments below, and be nice! Thanks for reading Field Gulls.
