Seattle Seahawks star receiver DK Metcalf will not be traded before the 2024 NFL deadline despite persistent rumors, as confirmed by insiders like Adam Schefter. Metcalf, recovering from a knee injury, was considered a target for teams like the Pittsburgh Steelers, but the Seahawks have dismissed any trade talks. Metcalf is signed through 2025 and could soon be eligible for a contract extension. The Seahawks are struggling with a 4-5 record and are at the bottom of the NFC West, partly due to a weak run defense and Metcalf's absence. Coach Mike Macdonald emphasized the need for urgent improvement as they face a critical matchup against the LA Rams, who have recently gained momentum. With divisional games ahead, the Seahawks aim to leverage these opportunities to improve their standings and playoff chances.
