The Seattle Seahawks open receiver room is scheduled to look very different at the end of this year.
Only several minutes from one to the other, the news was revealed that the long data print Tyler Locktt will be released, while DK Metcalf has requested an exchange.
For Lockett, a little measured was expected that was approaching the age of 33, but Metcalf’s request reported that it seemed to be a surprise.

Metcalf, a second assault by Ole Miss in 2019, has been robust since he showed his body of his athletic body before the NFL exploration harvester of that year. He has accumulated more than 900 yards in each of his first six seasons of the NFL, and has eclipsed 1,000 yards in half of them (he had 992 in 15 games this season).
The 27-year-old signed a $ 72 million agreement before the 2022 season that will expire after this season, and one cannot hit Seahawks for having their eyes in possibly extending the future third-year receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba next year.
“JSN” exploded in his second campaign, taking Seattle with 100 receptions, 1,130 yards and six touchdowns, easily becoming his main objective. All these statistics were ahead of Metcalf line 66-992-5.

The kind of open -receptor -free agents of this season would have been the elite perhaps four years ago, since there are many available decent curriculum. But many are in the back -end of their races, so the initial price for Metcalf could be quite high. There are also many teams that could use a top -level receiver.
Perhaps Seahawks also want to direct some attention to the field marshal Geno Smith, who will become a free free agent next year when he is 36 years old.
After it seemed that his career was due to an early way out, it has been all that the team could have expected since it became its full-time holder in 2022. In those three seasons, it has 27-22 with a percentage of completion of 68.5, 12,226 yards, 71 Touchdowns and only 35 interceptions. It was a long way for Smith, who was a support from 2015 to 2021 after failing as head of the jets.
During his 10 -year term with Seattle, Lockett caught 661 passes, 61 of them TouchDowns, for 8,594 yards, eclipseing 1,000 yards in each year from 2019 to 2022.
