• Tyler Lockett: Let go by Seattle

  20D ago • By RotoWire

  The Seahawks released Lockett on Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports. Lockett, one of the most productive wideouts in franchise history would have carried a substantial cap hit of $17 million had he remained with the team for the 2025 season, so the writing had been on the wall for Seattle to part ways with him this offseason. Though he played in all 17 of Seattle's games in 2024, Lockett took a big step back statistically and finished with a 49-600-2 receiving line on 72 targets, operating as the clear No. 3 wideout behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba and DK Metcalf. Still a capable ancillary contributor, Lockett should draw a fair amount of interest on the free-agent market, though any potential fantasy value for the upcoming season will rely heavily on the target competition of his ultimate landing spot.

• Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Uncertain standing for 2025

  28D ago • By RotoWire

  Lockett is unlikely to remain with the Seahawks without taking a pay cut, ESPN's Dan Graziano reports. Lockett is one of the team's veteran leaders and ranks second in franchise history with 8,594 receiving yards, but his receiving volume fell off a cliff in 2024 -- 4.4 targets per game in an offense that provided 8.1 for Jaxon Smith-Njigba and 7.2 for DK Metcalf. The 32-year-old is scheduled for $17 million in 2025 compensation, including a non-guaranteed $5.3 million roster bonus due March 16. Lockett presumably will be released before that date unless he accepts a pay cut, or else an extension that drastically reduces his compensation and doesn't include any/many guarantees beyond 2025.

• Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Targeted four times in Week 18

  01/09/2025 • By RotoWire

  Lockett caught two of four targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 30-25 win over the Rams. The veteran wideout finished the 2024 campaign with 49 catches for 600 yards two touchdowns, his lowest totals in each category since 2017. The emergence of second-year wideout Jaxon Smith-Njiba resulted in Lockett moving into a tertiary role in the passing game, with Smith-Njiba and DK Metcalf being the clear top targets for quarterback Geno Smith. Lockett will enter the final year of his contract in 2025, and with both Smith-Njigba and Metcalf on the books as well, Lockett is unlikely to see his role grow next season.

• Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Musters up 20 yards

  12/27/2024 • By RotoWire

  Lockett caught three of four targets for 20 yards in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Bears. Geno Smith threw for a season-low 160 yards in the tight win while Lockett failed to produce more than 22 receiving yards for the seventh straight game. DK Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba are the focal points of this passing offense, so Lockett's upside will remain limited even in a favorable Week 18 matchup against the Rams.

• Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Two catches in loss

  12/25/2024 • By RotoWire

  Lockett caught both of his targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Vikings. Though Geno Smith attempted 43 passes on the day, Lockett didn't attract much of the quarterback's attention, as Jaxon Smith-Njigba (12) and DK Metcalf (seven) dominated the targets. With Smith-Njigba becoming a much bigger part of the offense in recent weeks, the 32-year-old Lockett has been mostly an afterthought in Seattle's aerial attack. Since the Seahawks' Week 10 bye, the veteran has recorded just 96 receiving yards over six games.
