Carroll at the time stated to 93.3 KJR that "it's incredibly essential to us." "I adore him.

He could be remembered as one of our best draft picks in history. We're going to use every effort to complete it."

However, once Seattle traded quarterback Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos, there was some conjecture that Metcalf may want out.

But it's evident from the veteran wideout's outspoken support for Drew Lock, who the team acquired in the Wilson deal, that he shares the team's philosophy.

The Seahawks took Metcalf in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft, and he has been a mainstay ever since.
