Though the door seemed shut on the Pittsburgh Steelers adding a veteran receiver before the draft, Tyler Lockett is officially off the board. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Lockett is signing a one-year deal worth up to $6 million with the Tennessee Titans.
Lockett was viewed as an early offseason candidate to be in play for Pittsburgh, especially as Russell Wilson at least had a chance to return to the Steelers. The two were long-time teammates in Seattle and Wilson had consistently praised Lockett, including tweeting words of encouragement after the Seahawks’ released him in early March.
