NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Titans<\/a> are releasing veteran wide receiver Tyler Lockett<\/a>, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.<\/p>\n

Lockett, 33, asked for his release and was granted it Monday, the source said. Lockett is expected to be free to sign with another team after 4 p.m. ET on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Editor’s Picks<\/a><\/p>\n

Lockett signed a one-year deal worth up to $6 million with the Titans in April. Tennessee had hoped Lockett would bring a veteran presence to the receiver room and help rookie quarterback Cam Ward<\/a> get acclimated to the NFL.<\/p>\n

Lockett caught 10 passes for 70 yards in seven games while playing 181 (44.7%) offensive snaps.<\/p>\n

The Titans are 1-6 and last week fired coach Brian Callahan.<\/p>\n

Lockett spent the first 10 years of his career with the Seattle Seahawks<\/a> and became the second-most-prolific pass catcher in franchise history. The Seahawks released him in March.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Turron DavenportOct 20, 2025, 07:14 PM ET CloseTurron Davenport covers the Tennessee Titans for ESPN since 2018.
