How Tyler Lockett moved from Seahawks to Titans to Raiders image

It's only fitting that what may be Tyler Lockett's last act in the NFL comes with Pete Carroll.

The slot receiver signed with the Las Vegas Raiders earlier this season to reunite with his long-time Seattle Seahawks head coach. He gets to catch passes from a former Seattle QB of his, too, in Geno Smith.

Lockett's days in the NFL may be drawing thin. But it's a cool way to wrap up his career, if the end is near.

Why did Seahawks cut Tyler Lockett?

The Seahawks cut Lockett in March for salary reasons.

He had a cap hit of more than $30 million for 2025.

His release saved Seattle about $17 million.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba's emergence helped this cause, but Lockett was probably gone either way.

Why did Titans cut Tyler Lockett?

Lockett signed with the Titans before the 2025 season, but by mid-October, he was done. He requested a release, and the Titans granted it.

That set Lockett up to sign with the Raiders.
