Seahawks GM Addresses DK Metcalf Trade Rumors: 'We’re Talking To a Ton of Teams'

Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider confirmed that the team has fielded several trade offers regarding star wide receiver DK Metcalf.

"We’re talking to a ton of teams, taking offers, seeing what that looks like," Schneider said on his weekly KIRO-AM radio show, via Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic.

He didn't completely shut the door on Metcalf possibly remaining with the Seahawks in 2025, though.

"He understands we’re going to head down this road, we’re going to do the best thing we can for the organization, and if things don’t fall the way he wants, there’s a good chance he could end up being here," Schneider said. "And at that point, we all turn the corner and move forward. Through this whole process, he’s been extremely professional and respectful."

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport reported Wednesday that Metcalf requested a trade, with Seattle agreeing to "explore options.

The request came after "a series of conversations over the past two weeks" between both sides, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Schefter also noted that Metcalf "prefers" to be dealt to a team with contending aspirations.

The 27-year-old has one season remaining on a three-year contract worth $72 million that he signed with Seattle in 2022. He'll carry a cap hit of just under $31.9 million for the 2025 season, via Spotrac.

It's easy to see why the Seahawks may choose to retain Metcalf if they don't feel that there are acceptable offers from opposing teams, as their wide receiver depth is already thin after releasing veteran Tyler Lockett on Wednesday.

Still, several organizations already seem to be targeting Metcalf.

Rapoport listed the Las Vegas Raiders, Los Angeles Chargers, New England Patriots and Houston Texans as teams to "keep an eye on" regarding the receiver.

Metcalf fell just shy of recording his third consecutive season with at least 1,000 receiving yards in 2024, racking up 66 catches for 992 yards and five touchdowns in 15 appearances.

The two-time Pro Bowl wideout has surpassed 900 receiving yards in all six years of his career.

Seattle will continue negotiations with interested front offices as the offseason progresses, but Metcalf isn't guaranteed to experience a change of scenery before the start of the 2025 season.
