Which NFL Teams Made Shocking Gains—and Who Got Left Behind—After Free Agency’s First Big Wave?
Weâve already broken down why we like Smith over Darnold in Seattle, but the receiver changes are all about tightening the margins.
Kupp is a better version of Lockett, with a higher open rate and burn yards per target, while Valdez-Scanting is a cheaper version of Metcalf who excelled with new Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak when they were with the New Orleans Saints last season. Valdez-Scanting isnât as productive as Metcalf, but he has a slightly better burn rate, burn yards per target rate and open rate than Metcalf. The elevation of Jaxon Smith-Njigba to the No. 1 receiver role cannot be overstated, too, after JSN finished 18th in total burn yards in 2024.
