Tyler Lockett, the veteran wide receiver, has parted ways with the Tennessee Titans amid a challenging season for the team. The Titans granted his request for release as they continue to struggle with their current campaign.
Tyler Lockett’s Release Details
Lockett joined the Titans on a one-year contract worth $4 million in April 2025. Despite being a notable addition, his tenure in Tennessee was problematic. In seven games, the 33-year-old managed only 10 receptions for 70 yards as the Titans faced a dismal record of 1-6.
Team Performance and Coaching Changes
The Titans’ performance has been disappointing this season. They have scored just 96 points, the lowest in the NFL. This led to the firing of head coach Brian Callahan last week. Following a 41-20 defeat against the Indianapolis Colts on September 21, the Titans are facing a rematch against the same team soon.
Lockett’s NFL Journey
- Previous Team: Seattle Seahawks
- Tenure with Seahawks: 10 seasons
- Franchise Records: 2nd all-time leading receiver
- Career Stats: 661 receptions, 8,594 yards, 61 touchdowns
Lockett was released by the Seahawks in March 2025, after significant contributions over a decade. In his last season with Seattle, he recorded 49 catches for 600 yards and two touchdowns across 17 games.
Future Prospects
As Lockett moves on, he remains a valuable asset for any team willing to sign him. Despite a decline in performance, his experience and mentorship could benefit younger receivers.
The NFL landscape is ever-changing, and Tyler Lockett’s next destination is eagerly anticipated as he hits the free agency market after 4 p.m. ET on Wednesday.
