The NFL offseason is a lot like online dating—teams swipe left or right, hoping to find the perfect match. Some players get courted instantly. Others? Well, they end up refreshing their notifications, wondering why no one’s texting back. Right now, DK Metcalf is experiencing the latter.

This is a developing story. Stay tuned…
