Overview
- ESPN reports the 33-year-old wideout requested and received his release Monday and becomes eligible to sign elsewhere after 4 p.m. ET Wednesday.
- Lockett logged 10 receptions for 70 yards on 21 targets through seven games as his snaps declined, including WR4 usage even with Calvin Ridley sidelined.
- He joined Tennessee in April on a one-year deal worth up to $6 million, brought in to provide veteran support for rookie quarterback Cam Ward.
- The move follows a turbulent stretch for the Titans that included a 1-6 opening and last week’s firing of head coach Brian Callahan.
- His exit clears opportunities for rookies Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike, while his résumé features 10 seasons with Seattle (661 catches, 8,594 yards, 61 TDs) and four straight 1,000-yard years from 2019 to 2022.
