In a word, yes. What gets lost in the noise over Doug Baldwin‘s retirement is just how limited he was in 2018. HIs 13 games were the fewest of his career. His targets, catches, yards and touchdowns were all the lowest for at least five years. The Seahawks don’t have to replace the stats of the Pro Bowl level Baldwin. They have 50 catches and five touchdowns to replace, and that is far less daunting.
Tyler Lockett played lights out last season, as all good 12s know. Now he’ll step into the number one role.
