Philadelphia, PA – March 25, 2025, 02:00 PM PDT
The Philadelphia Eagles are reportedly targeting former Seattle Seahawks star Tyler Lockett to bolster their offensive depth, sources told ESPN on Tuesday. The move comes as the Eagles aim to enhance their passing game following a championship-winning 2024 season, despite ongoing needs at cornerback and defensive end.

Lockett, a 32-year-old Pro Bowler, became an unrestricted free agent after 10 seasons with the Seahawks, where he developed into a reliable wide receiver with 8 Pro Bowl selections and 7,994 career receiving yards. In 2024, he recorded 47 receptions for 615 yards and 5 touchdowns, showcasing his veteran savvy despite a reduced role. The Eagles see Lockett as a potential WR3 to complement A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, especially after Jahan Dotson’s underwhelming 2024 season (19 catches, 219 yards) raised concerns about depth at the position (web ID: 0, 16).

Eagles GM Howie Roseman, known for turning overlooked veterans into stars, views Lockett as a cost-effective addition. With $18.125 million in cap space, the team could offer a 1-year deal in the $3-5 million range, aligning with Roseman’s strategy of signing high-potential players at bargain prices, as seen with recent additions like Kendall Lamm and Azeez Ojulari (web ID: 12, 17). Lockett’s experience could also provide stability if the Eagles trade tight end Dallas Goedert, a move rumored due to his $12 million cap hit in 2025 (web ID: 0).

Eagles fans on X are intrigued by the possibility. “Lockett as our WR3? That’d be a steal!” posted @EaglesNation. Another fan cautioned, “He’s 32—hope he’s still got it” (@PhillyFanatic). As the Eagles continue their offseason retooling, signing Lockett could add a veteran spark to their offense, but Roseman must balance this move with the team’s pressing defensive needs.
