Overview

  • Las Vegas officially added Lockett on Oct. 27 and waived receiver Justin Shorter to open a roster spot, the team announced.
  • The 33-year-old requested his release from the Titans after limited usage, finishing seven games there with 10 catches for 70 yards.
  • Lockett reconnects with quarterback Geno Smith and coach Pete Carroll after a decade in Seattle, where he ranks No. 2 in franchise history in receptions, yards and touchdowns.
  • The Raiders rank near the bottom of the NFL in yards and scoring and are coming off a 31-0 loss before their Week 8 bye.
  • The signing is widely viewed as a potential precursor to a Jakobi Meyers trade before the Nov. 4 deadline, though the team is expected to deal him only for strong value.
