Seattle Seahawks General Manager John Schneider addressed the team’s response to wide receiver DK Metcalf’s trade request during a recent appearance on Seattle Sports 710. Metcalf asked for a trade, and the team is now fielding offers. Schneider emphasized that the organization’s primary concern is doing what’s best for the player and the team, while also considering financial implications.
According to reports, the Seahawks are seeking a first- and third-round pick as compensation for Metcalf, who reportedly wanted a $30 million-per-year contract extension. Schneider stated that there may be a deadline for a trade, with April’s NFL Draft being a key consideration. However, he emphasized the importance of having clear information before the draft to ensure a smooth transition.
The news comes after the team released safety Roy Robertson-Harris and signed Josh Jobe. Schneider expressed disappointment that the focus on Metcalf overshadowed the tribute to recently released wide receiver Tyler Lockett. The Seahawks will now navigate this challenging situation, with their primary goal being to find an ideal solution for both Metcalf and the organization.
