Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett is pretty well-prepared for the day when he eventually has to retire from the NFL. In addition to running a growing real estate business in the Seattle area, Lockett is eager to add other items to his post-football portfolio.
Yesterday on Twitter, Lockett responded to a Steph Curry quote on the NBA returning to Seattle, saying he’d want to be a part of any ownership group for an expansion team.
Would love to be apart of ownership with expansion team in Seattle!! https://t.co/j0I4On1I4b

Seattle’s greatest sports heartbreak remains the SuperSonics leaving town for Oklahoma City, an even more traumatic blow than the ending of Super Bowl 49. In the years since, Seattle has proven time and again and again that there’s a robust sports market here – perhaps the most-robust on the west coast. It seems like only a matter of time before the NBA returns to Seattle and it would be great to see Lockett and other Seahawks sports legends participating in ownership.
As for his day-job, Lockett has posted at least 950 receiving yards and eight touchdowns for five years running. This coming season will be his ninth in the NFL. Lockett’s current contract has him locked up through 2025.
