Titans Add Experience On Offense With Veteran WR Tyler Lockett – Will It Be Enough To Lift The Bottom-Dwelling Team?

The Tennessee Titans have signed veteran wide receiver Tyler Lockett to a one-year, $4 million deal. The deal came just days before the NFL Draft, adding experience to first-overall pick Cam Ward‘s receiving corps.

Since Lockett was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in the third round of the 2015 NFL Draft, he’s been a mainstay on their offense. He has the second-most receptions (661), receiving yards (8,594) and touchdowns (61) in franchise history.

Lockett’s usage declined as the young Jaxon Smith-Njigba broke out for 1,130 yards in the 2024 season. Ten years after the Seahawks drafted him, he was released. Now, he’ll take that decade of experience to Tennessee.

Lockett adds some much-needed experience and depth to a shallow Titans receiving room. Before his addition, the Titans’ second-string wide receiver was Treylon Burks, who had four receptions for 34 yards in five games in 2024. Behind Calvin Ridley, who put up a thousand-yard season in 2024, Lockett’s skillset will be invaluable.
