Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf is poised to leave the team after requesting a trade, according to reports.
NFL insider Tom Pelissero claims Metcalf has asked for a move away from Seattle after six seasons, a request which has been granted.
The 27-year-old, who has earned two Pro Bowl selections during his time with the Seahawks, had 66 catches for 992 yards last season.
After being selected in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft, he has recorded 438 catches for 6,324 yards and 48 touchdowns over the course of his career with Seattle.
News of Metcalf’s impending departure came just minutes after Seahawks legend Tyler Lockett was released by the team after 10 years at Lumen Field.
Lockett was set to count for over $30million against the team’s cap next season and was on track to earn a $17million salary plus a $5.3m roster bonus prior to his cut.

‘I really enjoyed being in Seattle!,’ Lockett said in a statement posted to his Twitter account.
‘I met so many great people and captured so many great memories! The 12’s really make this place meaningful!
‘Although, my time on the Seahawks may have run its course I’m thankful for everything!!God gets all the glory forever!!!!’
