Tennessee Titans sign wide receiver Tyler Lockett on eve of NFL Draft ahead of having No. 1 pick

By ISABEL BALDWIN

The Tennessee Titans have reportedly signed wide receiver Tyler Lockett in free agency. 

The 32-year-old announced the news himself on X, formerly known as Twitter, Wednesday night – the eve of the NFL Draft.

‘I’m excited to be a Tennessee Titan!! I’m super thankful and grateful Let’s get it!! God you get all the glory!!’ he wrote.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter later appeared to confirm the deal, reporting that it is a one-year, $4 million contract worth up to $6 million. 

Lockett brings veteran experience to the wide receiver corps in Tennessee after ten years in the league. 

He was released by the Seattle Seahawks, who drafted him in 2015. He has 661 catches, 8,594 yards, and 61 touchdowns so far throughout his career.

The Titans move comes on the eve of the draft where they are expected to take Cam Ward

The veteran is widely expected to be hauling in from passes from one of the league’s newest quarterbacks next season. 

The Titans have the No. 1 overall pick in Thursday’s draft with all indications pointing towards them picking quarterback Cam Ward.

Ward seemingly confirmed he was headed to the Titans last week when he dropped a massive hint during a video game livestream.

Asked for his top NFL running backs, the 22-year-old casually responded with a pair of Titans stars: ‘Tony Pollard, [Tyjae] Spears.’

Then, when asked for his favorite receivers, Ward named Titans teammates Treylon Burks and Calvin Ridley.

The former Miami quarterback – who also played at Incarnate Ward and Washington State in college – will be on hand in Green Bay on Thursday for the Draft.
