Seattle Seahawks Cut Ties with Star Wide Receiver, DK Metcalf
In a shocking move, the Seattle Seahawks have released their star wide receiver, DK Metcalf, in a salary-cap driven decision. The news was first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter, citing sources close to the team.
Metcalf, a three-time Pro Bowl selection, has been a key contributor to the Seahawks’ offense since being drafted in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft. However, his contract, which was set to pay him $18 million in 2025, became too expensive for the team to retain.
“We are grateful for DK’s contributions to our team over the past five seasons,” said Seahawks General Manager, John Schneider. “However, we have to make tough decisions to ensure the long-term success of our franchise. We wish DK all the best in his future endeavors.”
The release of Metcalf leaves a significant void in the Seahawks’ receiving corps, and the team will likely look to free agency or the draft to fill the gap.
Metcalf’s departure also raises questions about the future of the Seahawks’ offense, which has undergone significant changes this offseason.
As news of Metcalf’s release spread, fans took to social media to express their shock and disappointment. “Can’t believe it! DK was my favorite player,” tweeted @SeahawksFan4Life.
