Jordan Love didn’t flinch when the rumors started. DK Metcalf to Green Bay? It sounded too good to be true, but for a minute, fans let themselves believe. They pictured Metcalf streaking down the sideline, towering over defenders in the frozen Lambeau air. Love’s deep ball dropping right into those vice-grip hands — the kind of connection that wins playoff games.
But belief only gets you so far. Packers fans, it’s time to face the music. Reality hits like a cold Wisconsin wind. The dream of DK Metcalf rocking the green and gold? Officially over. The Steelers swooped in and snagged the Seahawks’ wantaway star receiver, leaving Jordan Love and the Packers to regroup. But here’s the kicker -according to Matt Schneidaman, Packers beat writer for The Athletic, Green Bay “never made an offer for DK Metcalf.” Yes, you read that right. While rumors swirled and fans fantasized about Metcalf’s explosive plays at Lambeau, the Packers were sitting this one out. Worse yet? Word is the Packers never even picked up the phone. No offer, no push — nothing.
Packers never made an offer for DK Metcalf, per @mattschneidman.

For Love, it’s not just about missing out on Metcalf. Davante Adams isn’t walking through that door either, having chosen Hollywood over a Green Bay homecoming. Double ouch. Two prime targets gone. Turns out, the price tag for these big-name receivers was just too steep for GM Brian Gutekunst. Whether it’s a matter of budget or strategy, the Packers are sticking to their guns, or maybe just their wallet.
Now, with the NFC North heating up (three playoff entrants in 2024), the Packers are betting they can win with what they’ve already got. Whether that’s patience or passivity — well, that’s about to be tested.
So, where does that leave Jordan Love? Without his top two potential targets, that’s where. The Packers’ front office is playing it cool, but fans are left wondering if this is a calculated move or a missed opportunity. One thing’s for sure: the NFC North just got a lot more interesting, and the pressure’s on Love to deliver with the weapons he’s got.
This is a developing story. Stay tuned…
