In early March, Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson was traded to the Broncos. For pass receiver D.K. Metcalf, it was a shocking experience made worse by another sack.

Munich – The trade of Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos has obviously caused a shockwave or two on the Seattle Seahawks’ side.

Wide receiver D.K. Metcalf spoke out on the subject during his appearance on the YouTube show “KG Certified” with NBA legend Kevin Garnett. Thus, the pass receiver explained that during a photo shoot, he heard from a member of the front office that the quarterback could be traded.

Just an hour later, the parties had reached an agreement and Wilson had left the franchise.

“I was just in shock because I didn’t think that was going to happen,” Metcalf said. “I was very shocked because I never thought he would leave Seattle. “

Metcalf wants to take responsibility with Seahawks

On March 8, a new era seemed to be ushered in for the Seahawks. First Wilson was traded, then longtime linebacker Bobby Wagner was fired

“I thought to myself, Russ is gone, what am I going to do? Later that night Bobby was sacked,” the 24-year-old recalled. He continued: “Bobby and I were close, he was my man. And when he left, it really hurt. Because we would have trained together every Tuesday. I would have gone over to his place and we would have played pool. He was my big brother and now he’s gone.”

In his first three NFL seasons, Wilson and Wagner were leaders for the receiver. In his fourth season, that will change. “I think it’s time for me to step up and take a leadership role,” Metcalf said. “It’s my time in Seattle now. That’s how I look at it. “
