DK Metcalf Requests Trade, Ending Six-Year Seahawks Tenure
Big news out of Seattle—DK Metcalf has officially requested a trade. After spending six seasons with the Seahawks, the star wide receiver is looking for a fresh start elsewhere. NFL insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero broke the news, confirming that the team is willing to explore trade options to accommodate Metcalf’s request.
This is a huge shake-up for Seattle. Metcalf, at 27 years old, is still in his prime and coming off another solid season, putting up 66 receptions for 992 yards and five touchdowns in 15 games. While those numbers aren’t career highs, they still showcase his explosive ability as a playmaker. The fact that he’s a two-time Pro Bowler and has surpassed 1,000 receiving yards in multiple seasons only adds to his value on the trade market.

Now, the big question—why does he want out? Metcalf is entering the final year of his three-year, $72 million deal, and it’s likely that he’s looking for a long-term extension with a new team. With the Seahawks in a bit of a transition, especially after releasing veteran wide receiver Tyler Lockett, it’s possible Metcalf sees this as the perfect time to move on.
For Seattle, this could mark the end of an era. Metcalf and Lockett have been a dynamic duo for years, and now, both could be gone in the same offseason. Losing two key receivers in such a short span would definitely signal a major shift in the team’s offensive identity.
So, what’s next? Trade talks will likely heat up fast, as plenty of teams would love to add a receiver of Metcalf’s caliber. Whether he lands with a contender or a rebuilding squad remains to be seen, but one thing is certain—his departure will leave a massive void in Seattle’s offense.
It’s the end of an era for DK Metcalf in Seattle, and now, the NFL world waits to see where he lands next.
