DK Metcalf demands trade as Tyler Lockett released in shocking Seahawks upheaval

DK Metcalf demands trade as Tyler Lockett released in shocking Seahawks upheaval

Star receiver DK Metcalf wants out of Seattle.

The Seahawks’ star receiver requested a trade Wednesday, according to multiple reports, and prefers getting moved to a contender.

Seattle’s receiving unit already will have a drastically different look next season after the team released veteran Tyler Lockett on Wednesday after a 10-year run with the franchise.

Metcalf, 27, is in the final year of his contract and played in 15 games for the Seahawks in 2024, accumulating 66 catches for 992 yards and a career-low five touchdowns.

Second-year receiver Jaxson Smith-Njigba had a breakout campaign in 2024, bringing in 100 receptions for 1,130 yards, and seemingly will now be the focal part of the pᴀssing game going forward.

Quarterback Geno Smith is also entering the final year of his contract.

Seattle reportedly had discussions with Metcalf over the past two weeks before he asked to be moved.

The Seahawks reportedly talked with multiple teams at the NFL Combine, where offseason business is conducted.

There were previously conflicting reports that the Seahawks were in conversations with the Packers, with the compensation allegedly being a top draft pick and a young receiver.

The Packers make sense since they need a No. 1 receiver for quarterback Jordan Love, and Seahawks general manager John Schneider worked for Green Bay from 1993-1996 and then again from 2002-2009, finishing his time as the director of football operations.

The Patriots are also in the market for a No. 1 receiver, while the Chargers could use another top-end playmaker to complement rookie sensation Ladd McConkey.

Metcalf is an incredible physical specimen, standing at 6-foot-4, weighing 235 pounds, and running an unbelievable 4.33 40-yard dash at the 2019 NFL Scouting Combine.

He would provide an immediate boost for any team looking to acquire a legitimate outside threat.

Lockett, meanwhile, accumulated 661 catches for 8,594 yards and 61 touchdowns with the Seahawks after being selected in the third round of the 2015 draft.

He tallied just 49 catches for 600 yards and two scores this past season.
