Seahawks' DK Metcalf: Unlikely to play in preseason
Metcalf isn't likely to play in any games this preseason, Gregg Bell of The News Tribune reports. Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald said joint practices with the Titans this week will be the best opportunity for Metcalf and other top players to solidify their knowledge of the new offense brought in by coordinator Ryan Grubb. The Seahawks opted for personnel continuity on offense this offseason, apart from some discount signings for the O-line, so they're counting on Grubb to improve a unit that finished middle of the pack in most efficiency stats last year. A faster-paced offense could help Metcalf and other key players score more fantasy points, after the Seahawks finished 32nd, 22nd and 32nd in overall play volume the past three seasons under former head coach Pete Carroll and offensive coordinator Shane Waldron. There's certainly no lack of skill-position talent, with Metcalf joined by WRs Tyler Lockett and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, RBs Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet and TE Noah Fant.

Starbucks is giving its new CEO a huge pay package and not making him move to Seattle
Starbucks’ incoming CEO could make well in excess of $100 million in his first year with the company under an incentive-laden contract, and he will not be required to relocate from his home in California to Seattle, the home of the global coffee giant. Starbucks announced on Tuesday that Brian Niccol would become its chairman and CEO, taking over from Laxman Narasimhan, who stepped down abruptly after spending a little more than a year as the company’s top executive. Niccol will become Starbucks’ chairman and CEO on Sept. 9. Niccol is among the mostly highly sought after corporate executives after establishing a track record of success in turning around companies that have hit a rough patch, including Taco Bell and, most recently, Chipotle. Niccol took the top job at the California chain in 2018 when Chipotle was being roiled by a series of foodborne illness outbreaks that had sickened more than 1,000 of its customers over several years.
