Lastly, Metcalf thanked the Seahawks fans for the support they gave him over his career, coming into the organization in 2019.
“And to the 12s… man, y'all are different. The energy, the passion, the love— I felt it every single time I stepped on that field. Words can't express how much I appreciate the way you embraced me from day one. It's never easy to say goodbye, and leaving this city that took a chance on me 6 years ago is tough. But this isn't the end— it's just the next chapter. No matter where I go, I'll always carry the 206 with me. Much love always.”
Metcalf ends his Seahawks career with 6,324 receiving yards, good for sixth in Seahawks franchise history. He will look to make a similar mark with the Steelers moving forward.
