The Seahawks are upset that news of Metcalf's trade request was leaked on a day the organization was celebrating Lockett's 10-year career in Seattle, a source told ESPN. The source said the team will explore a Metcalf trade, adding, "We will do what's best for the Seahawks."

Seattle was originally seeking a first- and a third-round pick for Metcalf, according to The Athletic's Dianna Russini. That elicited scoffs from the rest of the league, per Russini, as NFL teams presumably felt the Seahawks were asking for too much.
