Seattle Seahawk’s broad recipient DK Metcalf requested a trading on Wednesday, according to several reports.
The news came hours after the Seahawks released the broad recipient Tyler Loclett, who had been on the team since 2015. Seattle gives Metcalf permission to seek a trading partner and signal that the team includes a full -scale rebuild.
While Lockerett is free to write with all teams, Metcalf will have to find a trading partner after playing six seasons in Seattle.
Here are some teams expected to be interested:
Los Angeles Chargers

Losing Allen and Williams did not hurt the chargers, who went 11-6 while their former recipients fought in their new homes.
The chargers found a gem in the NFL draft by choosing Ladd McConkey, which recorded 1 149 meters on 82 receptions and received seven touchdowns as a beginner.
Los Angeles seems to be the most logical landing site because of its flexible cap and clear need for a talented recipient.
While Metcalf had a down year according to its own standards – to squeeze only 66 passes for 992 meters and five touchdowns – played with Justin Herbert helping to get his career back on an elite course.
Pittsburgh Steelers

George Pickens is a strong alternative, but he has been inconsistent in the field, and outside it remains his reliability a question mark.
Somehow, Steelers defied the odds and made the NFL finals last season, but it was not beautiful. According to reports, they plan to offer Justin Fields a new contract in free agency.
Fields and Russell Wilson shared time at Quarterback last season for Pittsburgh due to injuries and inconsistent play. If Pittsburgh connects Fields for another season, it would be wise to give him a real No. 1 wide receiver.
Las Vegas Raiders

Sylvanie-Imagn images How about a reunion with Metcalf’s former head coach, Pete Carroll? When Raiders hired the 73-year-old coach, they sent a message to the rest of the league that they strive to strengthen a culture and compete in a short order.
Although they still do not have a solution at the Quarterback and are expected to release Gardner Minhew to further complicate the position group-made Raiders Maxx Crosby to the highest paid non-quarter back in NFL history.
Anyone who agrees under the center next season will have a strong defense and potential metcalf as a key weapon.
