With the new league year and NFL free agency set to begin on March 12, several major moves have already taken place this week, and Wednesday was particularly eventful. Two of the biggest developments came from Seattle,

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf was third in the league in receiving yards (568) and 10th in receptions (35). He missed the next two games with an MCL sprain, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba took over Seattle's offense.

Njigba's workload for the 2025 season has increased exponentially. Major news hit the Pacific Northwest regarding the Seahawks wide receiver room, as the team released Tyler Lockett and agreed to a trade request from DK Metcalf.

The Athletic's Dianna Russini reported that Metcalf was looking for a "more stable quarterback situation" before the Seahawks traded Smith to the Raiders. The team could meet with him to discuss their plans in hopes of still reaching an agreement on a new contract.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba was stunned by DK Metcalf's trade request and Tyler Lockett's release on Wednesday, as he went to X and shared his thoughts on the two pieces of news.

If Seattle Seahawks receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba wasn't tuned in to the NFL news Wednesday morning, he probably did not expect to see what unfolded when he finally caught up on social media. That receiving room will likely look quite different next season.

Shortly after the Seahawks-Raiders deal was consummated, Cannan Smith-Njigba, a former Yankees prospect who played in the majors for the Pirates and remains an unsigned MLB free agent, posted on X, “Jaxon wake up you gotta see this.”
