The Seattle Seahawks have officially released their veteran wideout, Tyler Lockett. Lockett had been with the team since 2015. By letting him go, the Seahawks will save $17 million in cap space. Drastic changes are occurring in Seattle right now as Lockett’s counterpart, DK Metcalf, requested a trade not long after his release. The one-time Pro Bowl wideout’s production continued to dwindle last year only recording 600 receiving yards. Lockett had this to say during the season:
“I think the whole season has been sacrifice, and it’s sacrifice for the betterment of the team, it’s sacrifice for the betterment of the other players, it’s sacrifice for a lot of different stuff,” Lockett said last season. “It sucks for me as a player when you hear people say, ‘Oh, he’s too old’ or ‘He’s washed’ or ‘He’s not the same type of player.’ I promise you, if you go watch the film, that’s not the case.”
