Tyler is expected to sign with Las Vegas and reunite with Carroll.

Ex-Seahawks and Titans WR Tyler Lockett is expected to ink with the Las Vegas Raiders, reuniting with manager Pete Carroll.

The wide receiver, who is 33 years old, is joining Las Vegas after he was released by Tennessee in the past week, after he caught 10 passes for 70 yards in 7 matches, 181 offensive snaps. Lockett inked a 1-season contract with the Titans during the offseason.

Before Tyler’s short period with Tennessee, he was 1 of the top WRs in Seattle’s history. Lockett is ranked 2nd in organization history in receptions (661), receiving yards (8,594), and TDs (61). Tyler had 4 consecutive campaigns with at least 1,000 receiving yards.

When Las Vegas QB Geno Smith was the starter for the Seahawks from 2022 to 2024, Tyler caught 212 passes for 2,527 yards and 16 TDs in 50 matches. The Raiders most likely will announce Lockett in the upcoming hours after he goes through a physical.

Tyler will join Las Vegas in the midst of trade speculations surrounding veteran WR Jakobi Meyers. The veteran shared that he wants to be traded after he didn’t sign a new contract ahead of the campaign.
