Metcalf, a two-time Pro Bowler, has caught 438 passes for 6,324 yards and 48 touchdowns in six seasons with the Seahawks.

The 27-year-old Metcalf has one year remaining on his current contract, which has three voidable seasons after 2025. He's currently scheduled to count nearly $32 million against the salary cap next year.

Metcalf's request was made public on the same day Seattle cut veteran wide receiver Tyler Lockett in a salary cap-saving move.
