Tyler Lockett, Seahawks Agree To Four-Year, $69.2M Extension

Mar 31, 2021 2:49 PM

The Seattle Seahawks and Tyler Lockett have agreed to a four-year, $69.2 million extension.

Lockett was entering the final season of a three-year, $31.8 million extension he signed in 2018.

Lockett now ranks 10th in the NFL amongst wide receivers in salary. 

With DK Metcalf a year away from becoming extension eligible, there was no guarantee the Seahawks would allocate significant money for Lockett.

Seahawks Rebuffed 'Very Aggressive Pursuit' Of Russell Wilson By Bears

Mar 16, 2021 8:56 PM

The Chicago Bears engaged in a "very aggressive pursuit" of a trade for Russell Wilson, but were told by the Seattle Seahawks no trade would be considered at this time.

The Bears were on Wilson's list of four teams along with the Dallas Cowboys, New Orleans Saints and Las Vegas Raiders. The Cowboys re-signed Dak Prescott last week, while the Saints have retained Jameis Winston and Taysom Hill. The Saints also have salary-cap issues that would make it difficult to absorb Wilson's $19 million base salary for 2021.

The Bears pivoted instead to signing Andy Dalton to a one-year deal.
