Seahawks Release Longtime Wide Receiver Tyler Lockett After 10 Seasons

The move ends Lockett's decade-long tenure in Seattle, saving the team $17 million in cap space but leaving $13.9 million in dead money.

Tyler Lockett, the second-most prolific receiver in Seahawks history, has been released after 10 seasons with the team.
The 32-year-old wide receiver was set to earn $17 million in 2025, making his release a cost-saving decision for Seattle.
Lockett finishes his Seahawks career with 661 receptions, 8,594 receiving yards, and 61 touchdowns, ranking second in franchise history in all three categories behind Steve Largent.
The team's decision reflects a shift in its offensive focus, with younger receivers DK Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba now leading the passing game.
Lockett, who has also pursued a real estate career, intends to continue playing in the NFL and will join a competitive free-agent market.
