Fans of the Seattle Seahawks had to feel at least a little bit gut-punched earlier this week when we learned via a report from ESPN that DK Metcalf had requested to be traded several times over the years before getting dealt to the Pittsburgh Steelers last month. Metcalf had become the most popular player on Seattle' roster over the few seasons and he'll leave behind a couple of large cleats to fill as he moves on to Pittsburgh.
One other interesting nugget came from Brady Henderson's scoop about DK's trade requests. Apparently the New England Patriots were very much interested in trading for Metcalf but DK shut that talk down by making it known he didn't want to be there.
