DK Metcalf Still Wants To Race Tyreek Hill

May 25, 2023 8:56 AM

DK Metcalf still wants to prove he's faster than Tyreek Hill.

The Seattle Seahawks wide receiver is still trying to set up a race with the Miami Dolphins pass catcher.

"Look, I had my people contact his people, we still couldn't come to an agreement," Metcalf said. "We've been trying to do this for two years now. We haven't come to an agreement in two years but you've seen me running in a track meet, I didn't race against no 30-year-olds but whenever you wanna get this done, let me know."

That was a reference to Hill's easy 60-meter dash win earlier this year in the USA Track and Field Masters Indoor Championships in Louisville, Kentucky.

Metcalf acknowledged that Hill was willing to race in July 2022, but that Metcalf didn't want to risk injury that close to football season.

Geno Smith Still Approaching Contract 'Year-By-Year'

May 23, 2023 8:42 AM

Geno Smith isn't changing his mindset despite receiving a three-year, $75 million contract from the Seattle Seahawks in March.

This time last year, Smith was competing for the Seahawks' starting job.

"In my mind, no," he said, when asked if things feel much different from last year. "If it is different, I just want to work hard and be better. That's really it. But in my mind, I keep the same mentality. Drew [Lock] and I and [undrafted free agent Holton Ahlers] -- we're competing our butts off and that's competition every day. We're trying to see who's the best quarterback out there on the field every single time."

He has played the past six seasons on one-year deals, many of them for at or near the minimum salary.

"It's still year-by-year," Smith said. "I've got to look at it like that. It's one year at a time for me. My celebration was I picked up my baby and hugged him up and then I went to the weight room and got back to work. Just got to stay in it. I'm just trying to keep working and focus on ball."
