3 weeks agoThe Athletic's Dianna Russini reports that the Seattle Seahawks' asking price for wide receiver
DK Metcalf has been lowered, according to sources. The Seahawks would now be open to a return that centers around a second-round pick for the two-time Pro Bowl pass-catcher. Metcalf prefers to play in a warm-weather climate and is looking to make $30 million per season on a new deal. Seattle initially was looking for a first- and third-round pick in exchange for the 27-year-old wideout, and they are speaking to plenty of teams. The Green Bay Packers (not a warm-weather climate) and Los Angeles Chargers have already been mentioned as options, but the more obvious landing spot now becomes the Las Vegas Raiders after they acquired quarterback
Geno Smith from Seattle on Friday. Metcalf had 992 yards last year but also had a career-low five TDs on 108 targets, his fewest since his rookie year. A change in locale won't necessarily make him more productive in 2025, but it should ensure he's the unquestioned No. 1.

3 weeks agoSeattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider said on Seattle Sports that the team is "talking to a ton of teams, taking offers, seeing what that looks like" after wide receiver
DK Metcalf officially requested a trade this week. The GM also said "everything is in a very cordial, professional place." Schneider said if there's a deadline to get a trade done, it would be by the draft. However, he also noted the Seahawks don't have to do anything right now with Metcalf under contract for one more year. "Worst-case scenario we have an amazing, explosive, powerful athlete playing receiver for us again in 2025, so we'll see where this goes." Seattle released veteran
Tyler Lockett this week as well, so if Metcalf were to be traded, their receiver depth would be very thin behind
Jaxon Smith-Njigba. The Seahawks reportedly will be seeking first- and third-round picks for Metcalf, who had a career-low five touchdowns in 2024.

3 weeks agoAccording to Dianna Russini of The Athletic, the Seattle Seahawks are seeking a first- and third-round pick for wide receiver
DK Metcalf, who recently requested a trade. The 27-year-old is seeking a $30 million per season contract with whatever organization he lands with. Multiple teams have reached out to Seattle, but it remains to be seen if one of them is willing to part with a first-round selection. Metcalf, who entered the NFL as a second-round pick in 2019, has racked up 438 receptions for 6,324 yards and 48 touchdowns in 97 career games. He is one of the NFL's top-size-speed specimens and could help a team open up its passing game in 2025. The Green Bay Packers have been a popular potential landing spot for Metcalf in the trade rumor mill.

4 weeks agoSeattle Seahawks wide receiver
DK Metcalf officially requested a trade on Wednesday, and the Los Angeles Chargers could be a team to watch, sources tell FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. The Chargers were the one team that quietly but aggressively pursued Metcalf in trade talks, only to be rebuffed by Seattle. But that was before Metcalf actually requested a trade, and the Bolts remain in the receiver market this offseason. The Green Bay Packers are another team to watch closely as teams angle to trade for the 27-year-old wideout, especially since
Christian Watson (knee) is expected to miss at least half of the 2025 season. By Metcalf's standards, his 66-992-5 line last year was a disappointment as he took a back seat to
Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Metcalf would be more attractive from a fantasy perspective in Green Bay, but either way, he'd be the unquestioned No. 1 wideout, which wasn't the case in Seattle in 2024.
