Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf has become the subject of trade rumors recently. Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll has insisted that the franchise isn't planning on trading Metcalf, though the happy-go-lucky head coach was singing the same tune about star quarterback Russell Wilson, who is now residing in Denver. The most recent update on Metcalf's status was that while he's not available, he could “be had for the right price.” While the reporting on Metcalf is coming from a variety of trusted sources, why not get the news from the best possible source, the ma himself? Metcalf spoke on the trade rumors, shutting them down on Monday.

DK Metcalf hasn't heard anything about a DK Metcalf trade, per DK Metcalf. If the star Seahawks wide receiver was trying to do his best Ian Rapoport impression, it was a good one.

In all seriousness, Metcalf would be the first to know if he was seriously considered as a trade candidate. It appears that Seattle may actually be intent on holding onto the one-time Pro Bowler.

Metcalf, 24, is coming off of a season that saw him produce 75 receptions for 967 yards and a career-high 12 touchdown catches. The Mississippi product is entering the final year of his rookie contract and is set to earn $3.9 million in 2022 with the opportunity to become an unrestricted free agent next offseason.

For now, Seahawks fans can expect Metcalf to remain in Seattle. They heard it from a reliable source.
