The Seattle Seahawks have officially released veteran wide receiver Tyler Lockett, concluding a decade-long tenure with the team. Lockett expressed gratitude for his time in Seattle on social media, highlighting the connections he made and the memories he cherished. At 32 years old and following a disappointing season, the team opted for this move due to financial constraints, allowing them to save significant cash while also taking on dead money. This release, timed for a proper farewell, recognizes Lockett's status as one of the franchise's leading players.
Lockett, 32 years old and coming off his least productive season since 2017, was expected to be released unless the two sides could agree to another reduced contract like they did last March.
By releasing Lockett, Seattle saves $17 million in cash and cap space but will take on $13.895 million in dead money.
Although, my time on the Seahawks may have run its course I'm thankful for everything!! God gets all the glory forever!
They waited another day to release Lockett, thereby allowing for a standalone sendoff befitting one of the best players in franchise history.
