Former Pro Bowl Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett signing with Titans after extended free agency wait

The Tennessee Titans seemingly added a weapon for their soon-to-be new quarterback one day before the NFL Draft.

Former Pro Bowl wide receiver Tyler Lockett announced in social media he’s joining the Titans. He’s reportedly signing a one-year, $4 million deal that can reach up to $6M with incentives, per NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport.

The signing ends Lockett’s slow-burn free agency period nearly two months after he was released by the Seattle Seahawks following a 10-year career there.

He’ll join a Titans team slated to pick No. 1 overall in the draft on Thursday, when the team is highly expected to pick Miami quarterback Cam Ward. It appears Ward will have a solid veteran to work with right off the bat.

Lockett, 32, has played his entire career with the Seahawks after they took him as a third-round draft pick out of Kansas State in 2015.

He was a consistent producer for the majority of his time in Seattle, starting as a return specialist and eventually becoming a legitimate threat at receiver. He was a first-team All-Pro as a returner in 2015 and made his lone Pro Bowl in 2016. He compiled 1,000-plus receiving yards in four straight seasons from 2019-22.

But his numbers began to fall off in 2023 and took a nosedive in 2024, when he finished with just 49 catches, 600 yards and two touchdowns.

Thought he was a beloved veteran in Seattle, the team reportedly saved $17 million in cap space by cutting him loose.
