Seahawks Retain DK Metcalf Amid Trade Rumors

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.
