I think the extension would be agreed to in principle before the trade actually happened.Otherwise, you acquire the player and they have you over a barrel because you sunk the draft capital into them via trade. That's essentially what happened in the case of Laremy Tunsil. The Texans trade two 1st rounders and a 2nd to land Tunsil, and later moved to extend him. Tunsil's camp knew that Houston would never let him walk after paying that much to get him. So they ended up having to pay him well over the top of the market. Similar thing happened with Hopkins. The Cardinals went way beyond market rate and now you have this massive gap in AAV where Hopkins, Adams, and Hill are 7-10M above the 3rd highest paid guys. D.J. Moore just agreed to 3/62/42. If you could get Metcalf to go for something in that neighborhood, you do it in a heartbeat.</blockquote>
