Coach Pete Carroll said Tuesday when asked about a potential contract extension for Metcalf (foot) "we have not gotten to that topic yet specifically because we've got so many other things going on," Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Metcalf is entering the final year of his rookie deal, and with longtime franchise leader Russell Wilson having been traded to the Broncos, Seattle's roster is no doubt facing a transition to a new era. Carroll did say that the Seahawks "intend for [Metcalf] to be with us" for the long-term, but at least in the early stages of the offseason, it appears that extending the 2019 second-round pick hasn't ranked atop the team's list of priorities. Per Condotta, Carroll appeared to indicate that extensions will be dealt with after the free agency period has completely run its course. For the time being Drew Lock stands atop the depth chart, but it seems likely that Seattle will add more options to the quarterback room via trade, free agency, or April's draft, in which the team holds the No. 9 overall pick.
