The Seattle Seahawks secured a hard-fought 6-3 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> victory over the Chicago Bears on Thursday, December 26, in a game heavily influenced by torrential rain. The weather conditions were the standout storyline, significantly limiting offensive production for both teams, as neither managed to exceed 265 offensive yards. This lackluster performance drew criticism from fans and analysts alike. Despite the challenges, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/geno-smith" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Geno Smith</a> and DK Metcalf shared their perspectives on the game.



“It’s not always going to be sunshine and rainbows, man. Gutting out a 6-3 win feels just as good as winning the game 44-41, It’s all about getting wins, and I have the utmost confidence in my guys, the guys up front, the defense, our coaching staff, the entire organization. It’s a big game coming up, but we’re all going to stick to our process and get ready for another week,” affirmed Smith.



One thing is certain: the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/seattle-seahawks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Seattle Seahawks</a> achieved what mattered most, snapping their two-game losing streak. If they hope to make a playoff push, winning both this game against the Bears and the next one against the Los Angeles Rams is essential. For now, they are staying on track to meet that goal. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dk-metcalf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">DK Metcalf</a> also shared his perspective on the team’s performance and what needs improvement: “I’ve got to go back and watch the film…from my perspective, I think we’ve just got to run the ball more.”



The Seahawks’ low offensive effectiveness has raised concerns among fans, as the team must deliver a flawless finish to the season to keep their playoff hopes alive and remain in contention for the division title. They will also be relying on a win by the Arizona Cardinals over the Los Angeles Rams, which would position them closer to securing the division crown. On the bright side, the Seahawks’ defense continues to shine. Key plays, including sacks on Caleb Williams, were instrumental in keeping the team alive during their gritty victory over the Bears.

<h2>Mike Macdonald expresses confidence in Seahawks’ playoff chances</h2>



The Seahawks no longer control their fate in the race for the NFC West division title. To be crowned division champions and secure direct entry into the playoffs, they must rely on a Cardinals victory over the Rams. If that doesn’t happen, the Seahawks will face a more challenging path, needing to secure a wild card spot. This would require them to win their remaining games and hope for favorable results from other teams.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-geno-smith-directly-asks-a-rival-to-help-the-seahawks-make-it-to-the-playoffs"></div>


Head coach Mike Macdonald remains optimistic about his team’s chances: “We’re in the mode of control what we can control…we know what’s coming next week. We’re going to spend this weekend getting our minds and bodies and spirits right to go play a game. We’re praying that it’s for the division championship.”



The Seahawks lost the chance to secure their playoff spot on their own terms weeks ago. Now, their only option is to win every remaining game and wait for other results to fall in their favor.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/seattle-seahawks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Seattle Seahawks</a> faced a tough defeat against the Green Bay Packers in Week 16 of the NFL season. The offense struggled to find its rhythm, particularly after quarterback Geno Smith exited with an injury in the third quarter. Backup Sam Howell was unable to spark a comeback, leaving the team searching for answers. Despite the setback, wide receiver <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dk-metcalf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">DK Metcalf</a> called on fans to rally behind the Seahawks for their final home game against the Minnesota Vikings.



“It would mean a lot, especially with them behind us. We still need them to come out and be supportive. I know the first quarter, second, or third play of the game, it got crazy loud in there, and I looked around, and it was a lot of Green Bay fans. So they did a great job traveling. But just wishing the 12s didn’t sell as many tickets as they did to make sure we kept the home-field advantage. But yeah, it would mean a lot just to take this last one home and finish off the season strong so we can play again in front of them in the playoffs,” affirmed Metcalf to Brady Henderson.



The Seattle Seahawks are renowned for having one of the most passionate fanbases in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>, celebrated for their unwavering support and deafening cheers. However, in their recent loss to the Green Bay Packers, DK Metcalf revealed a surprising moment, he could hear the opposing fans’ ‘Go Pack Go’ chants following the Packers’ first touchdown. 



Metcalf emphasized the importance of reestablishing the home-field advantage, urging fans to bring their trademark energy for the Seahawks’ final home game against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/minnesota-vikings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Minnesota Vikings</a>.

<h2>What’s next for the Seahawks? Exploring their upcoming goal</h2>



Despite the setback, the Seahawks remain focused on their ultimate goal: winning the NFC West. Their four-game winning streak may have ended, but three pivotal matchups lie ahead as they aim to secure the division crown. Currently tied with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-rams" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Rams</a>, the Seahawks not only need victories but also rely on the Rams dropping at least one game to clinch the title outright.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-seahawks-hc-mike-macdonald-provides-encouraging-injury-update-on-qb-geno-smith"></div>


The task won’t be easy. The Vikings, one of the league’s strongest teams, pose a significant challenge in the Seahawks’ final home outing. If the Seahawks and Rams remain tied at the season’s conclusion, the division championship will come down to their head-to-head showdown, where the winner takes all.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dk-metcalf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">DK Metcalf</a> is one of the most physical players in the entire <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>, but he can suffer injuries too. Now, the wide receiver for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/seattle-seahawks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Seattle Seahawks</a> is dealing with a knee issue, and the club has shared a major update on his potential return.



The Seahawks have had a disappointing 2024 season. Currently, the team has a 4-4 record after eight games, sitting third in the NFC West, tied with the Cardinals and the 49ers.



Seattle has undergone several changes recently. Nevertheless, the Seahawks still have some star players on their roster, with DK Metcalf standing as one of the most formidable wideouts in the league.



<h2>Seahawks share new information about DK Metcalf’s injury</h2>



The Seahawks need an outstanding second half of the 2024 season. At 4-4, the team is far from the objectives set at the beginning of the year, but everything is still possible in the NFC West.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-brock-purdy-sends-strong-message-to-49ers-trenches-after-week-6-win-over-seahawks"></div>


Seattle is not regarded as a contender this year, but the team may turn into a dark horse. With three teams tied at 4-4 in the division, the Seahawks are looking to add as many victories as possible to advance to the playoffs as leaders in the West.



Unfortunately, the Seahawks’ roster has been affected by injuries this year. The latest is DK Metcalf, who is dealing with a knee issue that sidelined him in Week 8.



Metcalf was unable to play against the Bills, and the Seahawks struggled without him. Now, they face three consecutive games against divisional rivals, but it seems the wide receiver could return sooner than expected.

“Looking optimistic,” head coach MikeMacdonald said abotu Metcalf’s health, via the team’s website. “He hasn’t practiced yet, so let’s let him practice and see how he feels before we start making judgements on the week, but we’re optimistic for this week.”



<h2>What is DK Metcalf’s contract with the Seattle Seahawks?</h2>



DK Metcalf is currently under a three-year, $72 million contract with the Seattle Seahawks, signed in July 2022. This deal includes $58.2 million in guaranteed money, solidifying his role as a key player in Seattle’s offense.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-hc-mike-macdonald-makes-bold-statement-to-seahawks-qb-geno-smith-rest-of-the-team"></div>


Metcalf’s contract, which averages $24 million per year, keeps him with the Seahawks through the 2025 season. With this extension, Seattle demonstrated its commitment to Metcalf as one of the league’s top wide receivers.

NFL News: Seahawks provide major update on DK Metcalf's return

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/seattle-seahawks">Seattle Seahawks</a> kicked off the 2023 NFL season with two victories, beating the Denver Broncos and New England Patriots. One key player contributing to those wins is DK Metcalf, who recently sent a warning to teams around the league about the offensive weapons his team has ready for the coming weeks.



One of the things <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dk-metcalf">DK Metcalf</a> pointed out to NFL teams is that the Seattle Seahawks’ offensive stars are poised to elevate their play even further. He also reminded everyone that some key players, like tight end Noah Fant, are still dealing with injuries.



“Cause you got Lock, me, Jax, and you still haven’t seen Noah,” Metcalf said. “You saw Ken Week 1. Zach Charbonnet still has to break out. So, I think it’s just a ticking time bomb for all of our stars on offense to hit their stride.”



It’s worth noting that through the first two weeks of the 2024 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl">NFL</a> season, Metcalf has only scored one touchdown. However, he significantly improved in Week 2, racking up 129 receiving yards, more than 100 yards better than his season opener against the Broncos.

<h2>Metcalf’s Additional Warning for the NFL</h2>



Beyond mentioning the offensive line and injured players set to make an impact, Metcalf also addressed the Seahawks’ quarterback, Geno Smith, demanding that people stop calling him “underrated.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-titans-qb-will-levis-breaks-silence-on-brian-callahan-yelling-at-him-during-loss-to-jets"></div>


“He’s not underrated by any means. He’s an NFL quarterback, just like 31 other NFL quarterbacks. I don’t think the ‘underrated’ label should be used anymore. He’s very successful at what he does. He’s a great leader at quarterback and great at what he does at the quarterback position,” Metcalf said.

Now, all teams will look to continue re-shaping their rosters by bringing in the best prospects in the world. But as we may know by now, not every franchise has the patience to build throughthe Draft. Yes, we’re looking at you, Rams.
So, with multiple disgruntled players reportedly ready to force their way out of their teams, let’s take a look at <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-trade-rumors-packers-and-3-potential-destinations-for-deebo-samuel-20220419-0013.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Deebo Samuel</a> and the five NFL stars who could be moved during this 3-day event.
<h2>NFL Rumors: 5 PlayersThat Could Be Traded During The Draft</h2>
<h3>5. Baker Mayfield</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image"> <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="397" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:397" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220427_BUS_189619_baker_mayfield.jpg_631782975_23b89ec5.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=397" width="740" height="397"></figure><figcaption> Baker Mayfield- Getty Images </figcaption></figure>
</div>
It’s not a secret that both Baker Mayfield and the Cleveland Browns are looking to part ways. The issue is that Mayfield is coming off a down, injury-riddled season and he’s set to make north of $18 million.
Some speculate that the Carolina Panthers and Seattle Seahawks are keeping tabs on the former first-overall pick. However, the conditions of a hypothetical trade have yet to be disclosed.
<h3>4. D.K. Metcalf</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image"> <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="397" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:397" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220427_BUS_189619_dk_metcalf.jpg_631782975_febb524c.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=397" width="740" height="397"></figure><figcaption> D.K. Metcalf- Getty Images </figcaption></figure>
</div>
The Seattle Seahawks claim that they want to compete and believe in Drew Lock as a guy who can help them win right now. But if the past has shown us something is that you can never trust anything they say.
That being said, D.K. Metcalf could be their most valuable trade asset to kickstart the post-Russell Wilson era in Seattle, especially with other wideouts demanding a much bigger trade return.
<h3>3. Saquon Barkley</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image"> <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="397" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:397" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220427_BUS_189619_saquon_barkley.jpg_631782975_dee58065.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=397" width="740" height="397"></figure><figcaption> Saquon Barkley- Getty Images </figcaption></figure>
</div>
Yeah, Saquon Barkley could be on the outs. Newly-appointed GMJoe Schoen didn’t rule out the possibility of moving on from the Penn State standout, as he’s spent more time on the shelf than on the gridiron throughout his career.
While undeniably talented and impactful, Barkley just can’t seem to stay healthy. The New York Giants have plenty of areas of improvement heading into the season, so no one is safe from being moved.
<h3>2. A.J. Brown</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image"> <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="397" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:397" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220427_BUS_189619_aj_brown.jpg_631782975_abbf8843.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=397" width="740" height="397"></figure><figcaption> A.J. Brown- Getty Images </figcaption></figure>
</div>
A.J. Brown has made it quite clear that he’s not happy with his situation. He’s sick and tired of all the trade rumors and doesn’t like the way he’s being portrayed for skipping his team’s voluntary camp.
The Tennessee Titans have yet to reach an agreement with the Ole Miss product. He’s been one of the best wideouts in the league over the past couple of seasons and wants to get paid as such.
<h3>1. Deebo Samuel</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image"> <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="397" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:397" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220427_BUS_189619_deebo_samuel.jpg_631782975_b4db510f.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=397" width="740" height="397"></figure><figcaption> Deebo Samuel – Getty Images </figcaption></figure>
</div>
Deebo Samuel is the latest star to demand a trade out of his team. He’s coming off a breakout season in which he dominated out of the backfield and as a receiver as well, so it’s only natural to think he’s looking to sign a lucrative deal.
The San Francisco 49ers are reportedly asking for at least two first-round picks in return for Samuel. That steep price might drive interested teams away, especially given how deep this Draft is at WR.

Then again, you don’t have to be a football connoisseur to realize that a blockbuster deal involving a potential Hall of Famer QB often comes with major changes that follow. And the Seahawks would be wise to make the most of the valuable assets they still have.
That’s why some insiders and executives expect <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/25-highest-paid-coaches-in-american-sports-20211215-0031.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pete Carroll</a> to part ways with some other stars of the roster. That includes D.K. Metcalf, who’s entering the final year of his rookie contract.
<h2>NFL Rumors: D.K. Metcalf A Prime Trade Candidate</h2>
“This is a name that’s buzzing in league circles. No guarantee that anything happens here,” ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, per Bleacher Report. “I’m told that Metcalf has gotten indications, informally from the team, that he’s not going to be traded.”
“Seattle has said publicly they have no intention to trade him,” Fowler added. “But the execs I talk to keep bringing him up that maybe they would either be willing to move on at the right price or that Metcalf would welcome a change. So, something is going on here; it’s just hard to figure out what. But he’s got one year left on his rookie deal. He would need a new contract as part of a trade. That’s the tricky part.”
For what it’s worth, the Seahawks denied their intentions to trade Wilson until the very same day they moved him, so it’s not like we can take their word for anything. That being said, Metcalf would be a huge upgrade for multiple teams’ receiving corps, including the Packers and Patriots.
