NFL Draft cycle is heating up. The NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis is in the books, and a murky draft picture will begin to become more clear with free agency kicking off this week. Monday marks the start of the league's legal tampering period where teams can begin agreeing to deals with free agents ahead of all moves becoming official on Wednesday with the start of the new league year.

The Athletic's Dianna Russini reported that Metcalf was looking for a "more stable quarterback situation" before the Seahawks traded Smith to the Raiders. The team could meet with him to discuss their plans in hopes of still reaching an agreement on a new contract.

SEATTLE — A busy weekend of Seahawks trade activity began Friday afternoon when the team reportedly sent Geno Smith to the Las Vegas Raiders for a third-round draft pick. Smith seemed to confirm the trade on social media over the weekend and will now be reunited with former Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll in Sin City.
