Former Seattle Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett finds new home

Tyler Lockett has found a new home.

The former longtime Seattle Seahawks wide receiver is signing with the Tennessee Titans on a one-year, $4 million deal that’s worth up to $6 million, according to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Wednesday night.

Prior to Schefter’s report, Lockett initially broke the news on social media that he’s headed to the Titans.

Lockett, 32, was released by Seattle last month in a salary cap-clearing move. It came after a decade-long career with the Seahawks that established him as one of the greatest receivers in franchise history.

Lockett, a third-round draft pick by Seattle in 2015, totaled 661 receptions for 8,594 yards and 61 touchdowns over his 10 seasons in the Pacific Northwest. He ranks second in franchise history in all three categories, trailing only Hall of Famer Steve Largent.

Lockett piled up four consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons from 2019 to 2022, but his production slipped the past two years.

In 2023, he totaled 894 receiving yards and five TD catches while playing through a nagging hamstring injury.

And in 2024, he finished with 49 catches for 600 yards and just two TDs – all of which were his lowest totals since 2017. He fell to third in the Seahawks’ receiving pecking order, with 2023 first-round pick Jaxon Smith-Njigba experiencing a breakout 1,130-yard season and DK Metcalf posting 992 yards.

Prior to being released by Seattle, Lockett had one year left on his contract and was set to carry a massive $30.895 million salary cap hit for the 2025 season. At the time, that ranked as the fourth-highest cap number of any receiver in the league.

The Titans went 3-14 last season, but they hold the No. 1 overall pick in Thursday night’s NFL Draft. They are projected to take Miami quarterback Cam Ward, who starred for the WSU Cougars before transferring to play his final college season with the Hurricanes.
