Yeah I can see Metcalf and for that matter Lockett going to the Raiders to rejoin PC.
Lockett seemingly a really good guy and a top receiver for a few years, and still serviceable.
Metcalf is a physical beast in size and speed and all the physical tools to be the best receiver in the game, but hasn't lived up to that. He could be the star of the team, but consistency, winning battles to get open, the need to get a bit dirtier and into traffic areas; I don't think he thrives well when the coverage gets physical and it throws him off more than it should and teams figured that out.
McDonald has said he wants to be more physical on offense (ie more running), and ditched the pass happy OC after one season, so thats where some of this comes from.
