Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald said the Seahawks are “working through” whether Tyler Lockett will be on the roster in 2025 according to Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times.

It wasn’t exactly a glowing endorsement, in other words. Lockett turns 33 in September and is due a $30.8 million cap figure in 2025. Releasing Lockett would save the Seahawks $17 million against the salary cap. That cap number is untenable for a receiver who wasn’t targeted more than five times in a game after mid-October.

It’s possible the Seahawks work out a paycut for Lockett, but if not they will likely move forward with Jaxon Smith-Njigba as the main cog of their passing game.
