Metcalf confident in Seahawks deal: 'We're gonna get something done'

Blockbuster trades for wide receivers are all rage in the NFL right now, but Seattle Seahawks star DK Metcalf doesn't expect to be the next big name on the move.

"We're gonna get something done. I think I'm gonna be in Seattle for the next coming years," Metcalf said on Shannon Sharpe's "Club Shay Shay" podcast.

Metcalf has been the subject of trade rumors amid an exploding market for receiver contracts and quarterback Russell Wilson's departure for the Denver Broncos.

However, Seattle has insisted it intends to re-sign the 2019 second-round pick to a long-term extension. When Pete Carroll was asked about Metcalf's future in March, the head coach said, "We are going to do everything we can to get it done."

A.J. Brown became the latest star wideout to get traded Thursday. The Philadelphia Eagles acquired Brown from the Tennessee Titans midway through the first round of the draft for first- and third-round picks and immediately signed him to a reported four-year, $100-million extension.

Tyreek Hill, Davante Adams, and Amari Cooper are among the other high-profile receivers traded this offseason.

Metcalf established himself as one of the NFL's best young receivers over the last three seasons. He racked up 967 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2021 and was named a second-team All-Pro in 2020 after a 1,303-yard, 10-score campaign.
