The Seattle Seahawks had a dissapointing campaign following what was a breakout 2023 season from veteran quarterback Geno Smith. Now, the Seahawks are tasked with getting things back on track.
Unfortunately for Seattle, that may be a more difficult task than the Seahawks anticipated at the onset of the offseason. According to one prominent league insider, one of the Seahawks’ most crucial pieces wants out of Seattle and is seeking to play for another team.
“Seahawks WR DK Metcalf has requested a trade, per source. The request came today after a series of conversations over the past two weeks. Metcalf prefers a contender,” ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on Wednesday.
