The Seahawks are upset that news of Metcalf's trade request was leaked on a day the organization was celebrating Lockett's 10-year career in Seattle, a source told ESPN. The source said the team will explore a Metcalf trade, adding, "We will do what's best for the Seahawks."

Linebacker Ernest Jones IV and the Seahawks agreed to a three-year deal worth up to $33 million, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Sunday. The deal keeps Jones in Seattle through the 2027 campaign after he came to the Seahawks in a midseason trade and helped spark a defensive turnaround in 2024.
