On Monday morning, multiple reports came out saying that the Las Vegas Raiders were set to sign veteran wide receiver Tyler Lockett. The team has now made the move official, with wide receiver Justin Shorter waived in a corresponding move.
After spending the first 10 seasons of his career with the Seattle Seahawks, Lockett started this season with the Tennessee Titans. There, he managed only 10 catches for 70 yards over seven games before asking to be released.
Of course, those years in Seattle are the tie that pushed him to Las Vegas, even if the move to add him is coming about seven months later than expected.
