The Seattle Seahawks will reportedly grant wide receiver DK Metcalf's request to explore trade options, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reported on Wednesday (March 5).
"#Seahawks star WR DK Metcalf has requested a trade from Seattle and the team has decided to explore it, per me and @TomPelissero. There is likely to be significant interest in the Seattle star, and both sides will dig into it. A big-time WR who may be on the move," Rapoport wrote on his X account.
The Seahawks' reported willingness to allow Metcalf, 27, to explore other options came shortly after the team released veteran wide receiver Tyler Lockett after 10 seasons on Wednesday.
"On the same day the #Seahawks say goodbye to a legend in Tyler Lockett, they agree to allow DK Metcalf to seek a trade," Rapoport wrote.
Metcalf has spent his entire career with the Seahawks since being selected at No. 64 overall in the second-round of the 2019 NFL Draft. The former Ole Miss standout is a two-time Pro Bowl selection and was a Second-team All-Pro in 2020.
Metcalf recorded 66 receptions for 992 yards and five touchdowns in 2024, which included breaking the franchise record for most touchdown receptions of at least 50 yards in Week 3 and being limited to 12 starts and 15 appearances.
