Seahawks Monday news: DK Metcalf wants to run & Russell Wilson trades
By Lee Vowell
As part of your Seattle Seahawks news from the last few days, DK Metcalf talks making an Olympic run (literally) and more Russell Wilson trade rumors.
As far as Metcalf goes, he already ran in one Olympic preliminary race before the 2020 Summer Olympics (which, because of COVID-19, actually took place in the late summer of 2021) when he ran the 100 meters in 10.37 seconds at Golden Games and Distance Open in March of 2021. This was really fast for a human being but not fast enough for the Seahawks receiver to actually make the Olympics.
But Metcalf told NFL.com that he still plans to try to make the Olympics in 2024. This conversation took place after 12s learned that Metcalf had recently had surgery to remove a screw from his foot which had required a previous surgery.
It would be fantastic to see Metcalf run in the Olympics and it is great that he still has his youthful spirit to try new things. But be 2024, let’s just hope the Seahawks and Metcalf can work out an extension on his contract and that he has a couple of massively productive seasons in Seattle.
Seattle Seahawks news includes DK Metcalf and Russell Wilson
As far as Russell Wilson goes, it appears the trade talk about him will never go away. Some 12s get upset on social media (too many examples to cite here) when anyone mentions Wilson being traded but, unfortunately, there are too many reputable websites discussing the possibility so we can’t stop writing about it.
A couple of recent suggestions had Wilson going to the Washington Commanders in return for a package that includes defensive end Chase Young. That’s all good and well but if Seattle were to trade Wilson to any other team and not get a really high draft pick (in which to choose a quarterback in the next draft) or a quarterback in return, the trade would be a disaster.

Another recent trade suggestion had Wilson ending up in Tampa Bay. This was, however, based on something talking head Colin Cowherd suggested on his radio show. So, basically, it’s meaningless. Plus, the whole idea was based on how Russell Wilson would make the Buccaneers great again after Tom Brady announced his retirement. Not sure how that really helps the Seahawks.
