Lockett and the Seahawks agreed on a two-year, $30 million restructured contract with a maximum value of $34 million Saturday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. Lockett had two years and $34 million remaining on the four-year deal he signed with the team in 2021, so Saturday's deal moves some of the money while he'll get $13 million guaranteed in 2024, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. With the restructured deal, the Seahawks have seemingly added a little more wiggle room to their salary cap situation heading into the official start of NFL free agency Wednesday. Lockett had a down year by his standards in 2023, reeling in 79 receptions for 894 yards and five touchdowns, which represented his lowest yardage and touchdown totals since 2017.

Lockett and the Seahawks agreed on a two-year, $30 million restructured contract with a maximum value of $34 million Saturday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. Lockett had two years and $34 million remaining on the four-year deal he signed with the team in 2021, so Saturday's deal moves some of the money while he'll get $13 million guaranteed in 2024, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. With the restructured deal, the Seahawks have seemingly added a little more wiggle room to their salary cap situation heading into the official start of NFL free agency Wednesday. Lockett had a down year by his standards in 2023, reeling in 79 receptions for 894 yards and five touchdowns, which represented his lowest yardage and touchdown totals since 2017.
For five weeks running, Lockett has been impacted by a lingering hamstring injury, which didn't allow him to practice at all during Week 11 prep. A questionable designation for Sunday's game followed, but Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Saturday that Lockett was in line to suit up. With his availability now confirmed, Lockett will be looking to improve upon his 2-10-0 line on four targets that he put up against L.A.'s defense back in the season opener.
Lockett was the most-targeted wide receiver in Seattle's offense, though his lack of production was indicative of the team's overall struggles. His biggest play of the day came on his first target, which went for an 18-yard gain. Lockett entered Sunday with more than 80 receiving yards in two of his previous three games, though he has also now been held under 40 yards in four of eight contests.
Lockett was able to play through a hamstring injury Week 7 when DK Metcalf was inactive due to rib and hip issues. After opening Week 8 prep with back-to-back missed practices because of the lingering health concern, Lockett capped it with a full session, and while the wide receiver was listed as questionable for Sunday's contest, coach Pete Carroll told Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times on Friday that Lockett was in line to play this weekend. Indeed, that has come to pass, but Lockett may have a tough time producing against a Cleveland defense that has allowed an NFL-low 47.9 percent catch rate and just three touchdowns to wide receivers in six games this season.
