The Seattle Seahawks wide receiver has officially requested a trade, as reported by <em>NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero<\/em>. His request came just as Seattle released veteran wideout Tyler Lockett, signaling a major shake-up in their offense.<\/p><p>Metcalf, 27, has been productive every season since entering the league in 2019. He has never finished with fewer than 900 receiving yards, hitting over 1,000 in three different seasons. But in 2024, he took a step back. He wasn&rsquo;t the Seahawks&rsquo; primary weapon anymore&mdash;Jaxon Smith-Njigba took that role, hauling in 100 receptions for 1,130 yards and six touchdowns. Metcalf, meanwhile, posted 66 catches, 992 yards, and five touchdowns.<\/p><p>Now, he&rsquo;s looking for a fresh start. And he&rsquo;s not interested in a rebuild. Metcalf wants to play for a contender.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs are prime landing spots for DK Metcalf<\/h2><p>The Seattle Seahawks are open to offers, but not every team makes sense. Metcalf&rsquo;s $31.8 million cap hit in 2025 complicates things. If Seattle trades him before June 1, they save nearly $11 million in cap space. If they wait until after June 1, that number jumps to $18 million. The Seahawks also prefer to ship him to the AFC to avoid strengthening an NFC rival.<\/p><p>So who&rsquo;s in?<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&ndash; DK Metcalf wanting out of Seattle <br><br>&ndash; Franchise great Tyler Lockett released <br><br>&ndash; Jake Bobo WR2<br><br>&ndash; Alcoholic GM about to do nothing in FA <br><br>Speechless <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/OdQeVIKEmj\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/OdQeVIKEmj<\/a><\/p>&mdash; &#7429;&#7439;xx &#9889;&#65039; (@new_era72) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/new_era72\/status\/1897353565464830201?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>March 5, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p><strong>Buffalo Bills<\/strong> &ndash; Josh Allen has done everything for the Buffalo Bills offense, but the team hasn&rsquo;t given him an elite WR1. Stefon Diggs has been inconsistent. Gabe Davis isn&rsquo;t the answer. Buffalo&rsquo;s defense has kept them competitive, but they need firepower if they want to win a Super Bowl. If the Bills get Metcalf, Allen gets a true No. 1 target.<\/p><p><strong>Kansas City Chiefs<\/strong> &ndash; The Kansas City Chiefs just won the Super Bowl despite a wide receiver group that led the league in drops. Rashee Rice is promising, but he&rsquo;s not DK Metcalf. With Travis Kelce getting older and no guarantee of a top-tier receiver hitting the open market, Kansas City should be aggressive. Imagine Patrick Mahomes throwing to Metcalf. That&rsquo;s a nightmare for defenses.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Green Bay Packers and Baltimore Ravens need to make calls before it&rsquo;s too late<\/h2><p>A few NFC teams could try to make a move, despite Seattle&rsquo;s preference to send Metcalf to the AFC.<\/p><p><strong>Green Bay Packers<\/strong> &ndash; Jordan Love took a Packers team with no true WR1 to the playoffs. Jayden Reed had a solid year with 857 yards, but that&rsquo;s not enough. Christian Watson tore his ACL in January. Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks are solid, but Green Bay needs a real No. 1. If the Packers pair Metcalf with Josh Jacobs and Love, they could take over the NFC North.<\/p><p><strong>Baltimore Ravens<\/strong> &ndash; Lamar Jackson has played his entire career without an elite WR1. The Baltimore Ravens added Derrick Henry this offseason, but they still need a top receiver. Odell Beckham Jr. was a short-term fix. Zay Flowers is electric, but he&rsquo;s not a WR1 yet. If Baltimore wants to take the next step, Metcalf is the move.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DK Metcalf is leaving the Seattle Seahawks. Now, it&rsquo;s about who acts first<\/h2><p>Metcalf is available. The Seahawks aren&rsquo;t holding him hostage. Teams that need a dominant, physical receiver need to act fast. The Bills, Chiefs, Packers, and Ravens should be making calls.<\/p><p>The Seahawks can wait&mdash;if they trade him after June 1, they save more cap space. But once the trade market heats up, Seattle won&rsquo;t have leverage. If a team is serious about adding Metcalf, now is the time.<\/p><p><strong>Read More<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/sam-hubbard-retirement-why-is-bengals-de-sam-hubbard-retiring-at-age-29\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Sam Hubbard Retirement &ndash; Why is Bengals DE Sam Hubbard retiring at age 29?<\/a><\/p><p>Image: Imagn Images<\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post mm-layout-slot4\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DK Metcalf trade rumors heat up\u2014Seahawks open to offers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":26044,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_mux_skip_reasons":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[4285],"class_list":["post-26040","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl","tag-dk-metcalf"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>What are the rumors amidst DK Metcalf requesting a trade? - The Playoffs<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"DK Metcalf wants out of the Seahawks.
