Why the Seahawks have long-term questions at wide receiver

Related Topics: DK Metcalf, Seattle Seahawks

In the short-term, wide receiver is not an immediate need for the Seattle Seahawks in 2024. DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba will be the three main targets, with Jake Bobo, Laviska Shenault Jr, Dareke Young, and Dee Eskridge expected to be battling for playing time and/or roster spots. The long-term is a completely different question.

As of April 17, the Seahawks only have 13 players under contract beyond 2025, of which Jaxon Smith-Njigba is the only receiver with a long-term deal. Lockett’s restructured contract gives him a cap number approaching $31 million next season, good for third-highest in the entire NFL.
