Overview

  • Las Vegas announced the signing Monday and waived wide receiver Justin Shorter to open a roster spot.
  • Days after requesting his release from Tennessee, Lockett joins the Raiders following a seven-game stint with 10 catches for 70 yards.
  • The 33-year-old ranks second in Seahawks history with 661 receptions, 8,594 yards and 61 touchdowns, highlighted by four straight 1,000-yard seasons from 2019 to 2022.
  • The move reunites Lockett with quarterback Geno Smith and coach Pete Carroll as the Raiders look to spark one of the league’s least productive offenses.
  • Lockett could debut as soon as Week 9 against the Jaguars, and his arrival has prompted speculation about a Jakobi Meyers trade, though ESPN reports Las Vegas would require strong value to move him.
