Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett is returning for his 10th season with the team, but there have been changes to his contract.
Lockett agreed to a new two-year deal that guaranteed some of his salary and moved $4 million to incentives. The adjustments also included a signing bonus, resulting in an $8 million decrease in his cap number. During a press conference, Lockett explained why he accepted the changes.
“Seattle is home,” Lockett said.
“It’s business, so you have to consider what’s best for them and yourself. It’s great to feel wanted by the staff. . . . I try not to focus too much on the contract because I’m still in a fortunate position. People talk about the money, but it’s enough for us to stay here and for them to value me still.”
The contract changes will increase Lockett’s cap charge for the 2025 season by $4 million, so there will be more decisions to make after next season. But for now, Lockett remains a member of the Seahawks, the same team he’s been with since his rookie year.
