The Tennessee Titans made the decision to release veteran wide receiver Tyler Lockett in October. Lockett had been totally ineffective and unproductive in seven games, recording just 10 receptions for 70 yards and zero touchdowns. His release paved the way for rookie Chimere Dike to play more snaps on offense, and Dike has taken full advantage of that opportunity.
Lockett quickly signed with the Las Vegas Raiders. It was an opportunity for him to reunite with head coach Pete Carroll and quarterback Geno Smith, who he previously spent time with in Seattle.
