Tulsa native, former Booker T. Washington star Tyler Lockett released by Seahawks

The Seahawks announced on Wednesday that Tyler Lockett has been released. The 32-year-old wide receiver, and former Booker T. Washington star, posted a farewell message on social media.

Lockett’s $17 million cap hit for 2025 made his release likely. Last season he posted 49 receptions for 600 yards and 2 touchdowns in 17 games.

"I really enjoyed being in Seattle! I met so many great people and captured so many great memories! The 12's really make this place meaningful! Although, my time on the Seahawks may have run its course I'm thankful for everything!!"

Lockett continuously gives back to the Tulsa community through his Light It Up Foundation and was a part of "Black Wall Street: Through the Ashes," an NFL 360 documentary in 2022.
