Seattle Seahawks DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Seattle 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.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf has requested a trade, according to NFL insider Tom Pelissero. The Seahawks have agreed to explore trade options. The 27-year-old was a second-round pick by Seattle in 2019 and has compiled 438 receptions for 6,324 yards and 48 touchdowns across 97 career games. After catching 90 passes in 2022, Metcalf has fallen under 70 receptions in each of the last two seasons. With Jaxon Smith-Njigba developing into a No. 1 wide receiver, Metcalf could be on his way out of the organization. Rumors have swirled surrounding Metcalf and the Green Bay Packers, but if he's truly available via trade, there should be no shortage of organizations interested. The Seahawks are also releasing veteran wideout, Tyler Lockett, so expect wide receiver to be a significant need if Metcalf is dealt. Wherever Metcalf lands, he'll be firmly on the fantasy football radar.

The Athletic's Jeff Howe writes that it doesn't sound likely that the Seattle Seahawks would make wide receiver DK Metcalf available in a trade this offseason. There's been plenty of speculation that teams are already reaching out to Seattle, though, since Metcalf is entering the final season of his three-year, $72 million deal. The Athletic's Matt Schneidman shot down a report late last week that the Green Bay Packers have already made an enticing offer to Seattle for Metcalf, and it makes little sense for the team to trade away one of their best players. The Seahawks may be listening to calls on Metcalf, but all the messaging they've sent from the end of the 2024 season is that they failed to adequately involve him in the offense during Jaxon Smith-Njigba's breakout. Seattle is currently focused on making sure Metcalf is more involved in 2025, so a bounce-back season in fantasy is very much possible if he stays in town.
