Metcalf was last playing under his rookie contract, which would have paid him a salary of just under four million dollars for the 2022 season. To increase pressure on the Seahawks in negotiations, Metcalf waived voluntary workout minicamps. He also did not participate in the Seahawks’ workouts this Wednesday.

In his first three NFL seasons, Metcalf totaled 216 catches for 3,170 yards and 29 touchdowns. He was selected to the Pro Bowl in the 2020 season.
