Veteran Receiver Tyler Lockett Reunites with Former Seahawks Coach in Las Vegas
18 Nov
Summary
- Lockett signed with Raiders to reunite with ex-Seahawks coach Pete Carroll
- Lockett played 10 seasons in Seattle, catching 661 passes for 8,594 yards and 61 TDs
- Lockett's NFL career may be nearing its end after a brief stint with the Titans
In a move that could signal the twilight of his NFL career, veteran wide receiver Tyler Lockett has signed with the Las Vegas Raiders. The decision reunites Lockett with his long-time Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll, as well as former Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith, who is now the Raiders' starting QB.
Lockett spent the past 10 seasons with the Seahawks, establishing himself as one of the league's most productive slot receivers. During his time in Seattle, he caught 661 passes for 8,594 yards and 61 touchdowns. However, his NFL days may be drawing to a close.
After being released by the Seahawks in March 2025 for salary cap reasons, Lockett signed with the Tennessee Titans. But his tenure in Tennessee was short-lived, as he requested and was granted a release by mid-October. This set the stage for Lockett's move to the Raiders, where he hopes to recapture some of his past success while reuniting with familiar faces from his Seahawks days.
