Metcalf’s remark must also assuage Seahawks supporters’ doubts, as he appears committed to remaining in Seattle. Although the Dolphins franchise is amidst a turnaround, the front staff would be wise to construct the offense around the athlete.
Will the Lockett-Metcalf dealing transpire?
The self-proclaimed ‘Fastest Man in NFL,’ who made headlines with his exemplary work at the 2019 NFL Combine, is about to complete the final year of his current contract. As a result, he’ll be getting a substantial contract renewal in the near term, which is very well earned. In 49 games with the Seahawks, the once Ole Miss great has 216 receptions for 3,170 yards and 29 touchdowns.

Snapback Sports’ Jack Settleman says the Kansas City Chiefs to be at least curious to learn more about the other wide receivers just moments after trading sensation wideout Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins. The Chiefs and Packers have contacted about the status of Seattle Seahawks notables DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.
However, in a contradictory rumor, FanSided’s Matt Verderame claims that the Chiefs have not inquired about Lockett or Metcalf. Even though that doesn’t rule out the possibility, it hasn’t happened yet.

It’s unclear if the Chiefs are seriously considering securing Lockett or Metcalf’s capabilities. The chemistry isn’t ideal, and Metcalf’s impending increase would be a step back given Kansas City’s big trade of Tyreek Hill. Both players would be significant contributors to the Chiefs’ elevated offense.
