Tyler Lockett is having his reunion in Las Vegas.
The veteran wide receiver is signing with the Raiders on Monday, NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported, per sources informed of the move.
Lockett reunites with Geno Smith and Pete Carroll, who were the wideout's quarterback and head coach in Seattle for several seasons.
Lockett recently requested his release from Tennessee, where he was little-used, catching 10 passes on 21 targets for 70 yards in seven games (one start). The Seahawks released Lockett after 10 years in the offseason.
The veteran joins a young wide receiver crew led by Jakobi Meyers. Third-year pro Tre Tucker currently leads the Raiders with 389 receiving yards. Rookies Jack Bech and Dont’e Thornton Jr. haven't produced early in their careers.
Meyers is dealing with knee/toe injuries and wants to be traded to a contender. While Vegas has eschewed the trade request thus far, it's possible Lockett's addition is a sign they could move Meyers before the trade deadline.
A 33-year-old Lockett might not be the weapon he once was when he was earning four consecutive 1,000-yard seasons from 2019-2022 -- the final one with Smith at the helm -- but he gives the Raiders quarterback a veteran he can trust to be in the right spots more often than not.
