John Schneider, the Seattle Seahawks’ GM, just dropped some major updates on DK Metcalf and Geno Smith, and it’s got everyone talking. First off, Schneider didn’t seem shocked by DK Metcalf’s trade request, saying, “A surprise? There were discussions that DK and I were having, a lot of personal discussions. I thought we could fix it, handle it, whatever it was. At the end of the day, it was a no, and he wanted to be traded.” Sounds like they tried to work it out, but Metcalf’s mind was made up.

As for Geno Smith, Schneider revealed the Seahawks offered him an extension before trading him. The deal reportedly included $40 million in Year 1, which is on par with what the Rams gave Matthew Stafford. But despite the big offer, Schneider said, “It became apparent that we weren’t going to be able to get a deal done.”
This is a developing story. Stay tuned…
