Seahawks GM: Team ‘disappointed’ in timing of DK Metcalf trade request

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf requested a trade ahead of 2025 NFL free agency.

‘Everything is in a very cordial, professional place,’ Schneider told Seattle Sports 710. ‘Obviously DK has requested a trade, and we are entertaining that. We are talking to a ton of teams, taking offers, seeing what that looks like.’

However, the long-time Seahawks executive also expressed he wished Metcalf’s request had been made public at a different time.

‘Probably not intentional, but very disappointed in the timing,’ Schneider said. ‘We wanted this to be a very special day. We wanted it to be Tyler Lockett day.’

News of Metcalf’s trade request broke on Wednesday, March 5, less than an hour after the Seahawks released Lockett after 10 seasons in Seattle. The Seahawks ran an all-day social media campaign honoring Lockett – who ranks second in franchise history in receiving yards and receiving touchdowns behind only Pro Football Hall of Famer Steve Largent – and shared his best moments with the franchise.

But nationally, attention was centered on Metcalf’s future and potential landing spots.

‘I felt bad for Tyler,’ Schneider lamented. ‘The TV’s all about DK instead of Tyler Lockett. It kind of correlates with his whole career. This guy is one of the most underrated wide receivers in NFL history.’

Nonetheless, Schneider didn’t blame Metcalf for the way the situation unfolded and was complimentary of the six-year veteran’s work ethic.

‘He’s a great worker, he’s a pro, he shows up all the time, it’s just really important to him,’ Schneider said. ‘And I get where he’s coming from to a certain extent. He’s 27 years old, he has very high expectations for himself and he should. So there’s no harm, no foul. We’ll get through this.’
