Report: Seahawks give Lockett 4-year, $69.2M extension

The Seattle Seahawks and wide receiver Tyler Lockett have agreed to a four-year, $69.2-million contract extension that includes $37 million guaranteed, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The agreement prevents Lockett from hitting free agency after the 2021 season.

Locket put together his second straight 1,000-yard season through the air in 2020 and tied his career high with 10 touchdown receptions. The 28-year-old has developed into quarterback Russell Wilson's favorite target in the slot after breaking into the league as a special teams returner and part-time receiver.

The Kansas State product will move onto his third deal with the Seahawks. After inking his rookie contract in 2015, Lockett signed a three-year, $31.8-million extension in August 2018.

With the deal, Seattle now has Lockett and emerging superstar DK Metcalf under contract for the next two seasons. Metcalf can become a free agent in 2023 at the earliest.
