Deommodore Lenoir sends strong message to Seahawks after DK Metcalf trade request

It’s been a wild Wednesday in the NFL. There may not be games on Sundays anymore, but front offices are hard at work as massive deals have made headlines over the last couple of days.

Metcalf asks for trade

The franchise tag deadline ended on Tuesday and since then we have seen some big money deals all around the league. We have also seen some superstars turn in formal trade requests to their team. It started with Myles Garrett in Cleveland right after the season ended, and now DK Metcalf is the most recent star to ask for a trade.

Right around the same time news of Metcalf’s request was sent to Seattle, the Seahawks released veteran pass catcher Tyler Lockett. That would leave Jackson Smith-Njigba as the only star WR if Seattle trades Metcalf. San Francisco 49ers cornerback Deommodore Lenoir is a little upset with the possibility of the Niners rivals losing their top stars.

The Niners are in the same division as the Seattle, and the NFC West teams play each other twice a year. Lenoir, who knows the Seahawks WRs well, says he wants Metcalf to stick around, “Y’all cannot let DK leave. How am I going to have fun out there? Njibgba be crying all day. That’s all he do is cry… Cry baby.”

Will Seahawks send Metcalf on his way?

Metcalf was drafted out Ole’ Miss in 2019 and has been a star in the league ever since. He is one of the most physically imposing players in the league, and has been a staple of the Seahawks offense for the last six seasons.

The Cleveland Browns have been very firm saying they aren’t going to trade away Myles Garrett, but the Seahawks have yet to make a statement following Metcalf’s request. Lenoir will be hoping that Metcalf will stay in Seattle so he can enjoy playing in those tense divisional rivalry games.
