The Seahawks and wide receiver Tyler Lockett have agreed to an extension, as Mike Garafolo of NFL.com tweets. It’s a three-year deal with a base value of $31.8MM and includes a healthy $20MM guaranteed. With incentives, the value of the deal can reach $37.8MM. 
Lockett was set to reach free agency next year after completing his rookie deal in 2018. Now, he gets to stay in Seattle with a significant pay bump.
The 2015 third-round pick hasn’t put up electrifying numbers just yet, but the Seahawks are expecting an uptick in his production after moving on from Paul Richardson. Over the course of three years, Lockett has 137 catches for 1,816 yards and nine touchdowns, though six of those scores came as a rookie.
Last year, Lockett finished out with 45 catches for 555 yards and two touchdowns. Meanwhile, the annual average value of his deal is greater than $10.5MM. That’s a sign that the Seahawks have a tremendous amount of faith in him, and also shows how far the wide receiver market has advanced in the last couple of years.
Lockett figures to be the Seahawks No. 2 wide receiver this year and should continue in his role as the club’s top returner.
This is interesting. Ever since he got hurt a couple years ago, he’s clearly lost a step. He is as fragile as glass and way too undersized. definitely not worth $10 mil a year.
Seems like a huge overpay
They can’t pay ET3,but this this guy who has done jack gets paid pretty close to what earl wants. Dumb,dumb,dumb.. send him to Dallas!
As much as I love watching him as a returner. To invest that much is really puzzling.
Agreed with the Earl Thomas comments. What a move to intensify this story.
