Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett’s contract extension details revealed

The specific details of Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett’s four-year, $69.2 million contract extension have been revealed.

The Seahawks signed wide receiver Tyler Lockett to a four-year, $69.2 million contract extension last week, and ESPN’s Field Yates recently revealed the details of said extension.

Lockett will carry a $9.25 million cap hit for the 2021 season, which gives the Seahawks a little more cap space to work with.

The contract extension will give Lockett incentives, notably roster bonuses down the line, and a $1.05 million escalation of his base salary if he totals 55+ receptions or 800+ receiving yards or at least eight touchdowns, per Spotrac.

The Seahawks will have one of Russell Wilson’s most reliable targets in Seattle through 2025, including what looks to be the remainder of the veteran’s prime years. Here’s hoping Wilson and Lockett will continue their strong connection in a pivotal year where it will be needed.

And here is the full list of picks for Carolina this year.

Round one: pick no. 7

Round two: pick No. 38

Round three: pick No. 69

Round four: pick No. 113

Roudn five: pick No. 148

Round five: pick No. 152

Round six: pick No. 184

Round seven: pick No. 221

If history is any indication, Carolina should be on the clock around 8:45 p.m. ET this evening. However, the latest reporting suggests the Panthers are willing, even eager to trade down from the No. 7 spot. Teams who are looking to land one of this year’s top four offensive tackle prospects are the most likely candidates to move up.

In the event they trade down, we’re betting they target a wide receiver or a cornerback prospect in the teens.

2020 NFL draft: Panthers currently on pace to pick at No. 12

2020 NFL draft: Panthers currently on pace to pick at No. 12

The Carolina Panthers have lost five straight and six of their last seven games. The streak has dropped them to third place in the NFC South and raised serious questions about the team’s future.

On the bright side, all that losing has helped their draft position immensely. Heading into Week 15, Carolina is currently on pace to pick at No. 12 overall.

Here’s a look at the updated 2020 NFL draft order.

1. Cincinnati Bengals (1-12)
2. New York Giants (2-11)
3. Washington Redskins (3-10)
4. Miami Dolphins (3-10)
5. Detroit Lions (3-9-1)
6. Arizona Cardinals (3-9-1)
7. Jacksonville Jaguars (4-9)
8. Atlanta Falcons (4-9)
9. New York Jets (5-8)
10. Los Angeles Chargers (5-8)
11. Denver Broncos (5-8)
12. Carolina Panthers (5-8)
13. Philadelphia Eagles (6-7)
14. Oakland Raiders (6-7)
15. Indianapolis Colts (6-7)
16. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-7)
17. Cleveland Browns (6-7)
18. Oakland Raiders (7-6) (via Bears)
19. Tennessee Titans (8-5)
20. Jacksonville Jaguars (4-9) (via Rams)


21. Dallas Cowboys (6-7)
22. Miami Dolphins (8-5) (via Steelers)
23. Miami Dolphins (8-5) (via Texans)
24. Minnesota Vikings (9-4)
25. Buffalo Bills (9-4)
26. Kansas City Chiefs (9-4)
27. Green Bay Packers (10-3)
28. Seattle Seahawks (10-3)
29. New England Patriots (10-3)
30. New Orleans Saints (10-3)
31. Baltimore Ravens (11-2)
32. San Francisco 49ers (11-2)

Tanking might seem like a reasonable idea to the average fan. However, if anything the Dolphins’ season proves that NFL teams simply don’t do it. Then again, sometimes it comes naturally.

As presently constructed, these Panthers aren’t going to beat the Seahawks or the Saints. Defeating the Colts is a possibility but it’s difficult to feel confident about their chances against any team right now.
