Metcalf was a second-round pick by Seattle in 2019. He has vastly outperformed his contract during his first three seasons. He is owed $3.98 million in 2022 and has a $4.3 million cap hit.

Metcalf has been the subject of numerous trade rumors since the Seahawks let go of Russell Wilson and Bobby Wagner. Based on his comments, it sounds like Metcalf isn’t going anywhere.

The 24-year-old had 75 catches for 967 yards and 12 touchdowns last season. He has 29 touchdowns catches in three seasons for the Seahawks. Seattle appears poised to move forward with Drew Lock as their quarterback as well.
