Seahawks lock up WR Tyler Lockett with massive contract extension

The Seattle Seahawks have locked up star wide receiver Tyler Lockett for the long term. Seattle is giving Lockett a four-year, $69.2 million contract extension, with $37 million guaranteed, per ESPN’s Adam Shefter.

Lockett was originally selected by the Seahawks in the third round of the 2015 NFL draft out of Kansas State. He has been a staple of Seattle’s offense and quarterback Russell Wilson’s most reliable receiver. He finished his 2020 campaign logging 100 receptions for 1054 yards and 10 touchdowns in the regular season.

Wilson might have been hoping for a vastly improved offensive line this year but ensuring his number one receiver stays in Seattle should make the signal-caller equally happy.
