Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf has officially requested a trade after six seasons in the Pacific Northwest.

The request comes amid internal discussions over the past two weeks.

DK Metcalf wants a fresh start away from Seattle

Various sources are indicating that the Seahawks are now exploring potential suitors for the two-time Pro Bowler.

Metcalf, who is 27, is under contract for one more season following a three-year, $72 million extension signed in 2022.

Despite a solid 2024 campaign where he posted 992 yards and five touchdowns, Metcalf’s role in the offense was somewhat reduced, with fellow receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba stepping up as a primary option.

As the Seahawks missed the playoffs despite a 10-7 record, Metcalf is reportedly seeking an opportunity to join a contender.

With a trade request on the table, attention has turned to potential landing spots.

One team that has quickly emerged as a front-runner is the Green Bay Packers.

DK Metcalf’s next landing spot

The Packers, still looking to find their true No. 1 receiver, could look to pair Metcalf with Jordan Love, giving their young quarterback a proven target capable of making contested catches and stretching the field.

On the other hand, the Kansas City Chiefs should take a close look at Metcalf to replace the offensive weapons that haven’t produced good-enough results and/or are injury prone.

Chiefs’ GM Brett Veach has been busy this offseason trying to bring a big playmaker to Patrick Mahomes’ side that could help them get back to the Super Bowl next season.

The combination of Mahomes, Travis Kelce and DK Metcalf on the same team could present a great challenge to defenses trying to stop the Chiefs from continuing their dominance in the AFC.

The move to acquire Metcalf, however, would come with its challenges.

His contract, which includes a cap hit of $31.8 million in 2025, could present financial hurdles.

Still, with the Seahawks potentially saving up to $18 million in cap space by trading Metcalf after June 1, this trade remains a feasible option for both sides.

As the Seahawks begin to field calls for Metcalf, the rumor mill is sure to heat up, with the Packers, among other teams, keeping a close eye on the situation.
