Before the 2025 NFL Draft begins with the Tennessee Titans on the clock, the team strengthened its wide receiver room with a veteran addition.
Former Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett announced Wednesday on social media that he's joining the Titans. NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported that Lockett is signing a one-year, $4 million deal with a max value of $6 million.
"I'm excited to be a Tennessee Titan!! I'm super thankful and grateful," Lockett posted. "Let's get it!! God you get all the glory!! #Thankful #Grateful #GodGetsAllTheGlory."
Lockett, who was released after 10 seasons in Seattle, joins an experienced wide receiver corps led by Calvin Ridley, Treylon Burks and Van Jefferson.
During his time in Seattle, Lockett recorded 661 receptions for 8,594 yards and 61 touchdowns in 161 games. The Seahawks' 2015 third-round pick developed into one of the league's premier slot receivers and became a reliable target for Russell Wilson and Geno Smith.
However, Lockett's production in 2024 took a dip with DK Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba flourishing into a dynamic one-two punch. Now, Lockett and Metcalf, who was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers, have gone separate ways joining new clubs.
Titans head coach Brian Callahan has secured a crafty veteran wide receiver for his quarterback, who most are prognosticating will be Miami's Cam Ward.
With the Titans sitting at No. 1 overall in Thursday's draft, Tennessee has locked in a reliable target for its quarterback.
