The Las Vegas Raiders have signed wide receiver Tyler Lockett, reuniting him with head coach Pete Carroll, the team announced Monday afternoon.
Lockett, 33, played for Carroll with the Seahawks from 2015-23. He also played with Raiders quarterback Geno Smith in Seattle from 2020-24.
The Titans granted Lockett’s request for a release last week after he caught just 10 passes for 70 yards and no touchdowns in seven games (one start) during his first season with the Titans.
Lockett signed a one-year, $4 million deal with the Titans during the offseason. His most notable play this season was a fumble recovery for a touchdown late in the Titans’ comeback victory against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 5, their only win of the season.
Lockett was an All-Pro and Pro Bowl selection during a prolific decade with the Seahawks, posting at least 40 catches in every season to go along with four seasons of 1,000-plus yards.
He has 671 receptions for 8,664 yards and 61 touchdowns in 168 career games (135 starts) since Seattle drafted him in the third round in 2015.
In a corresponding move, Las Vegas waived receiver Justin Shorter, who played in all seven games this season and 17 over the last two years but recorded just three tackles on special teams and no offensive stats.
