When it was reported on Wednesday morning that the Seattle Seahawks had locked up Tyler Lockett to a three-year extension and $20 million guaranteed, the news was met with some shock by fans. Not because Lockett isn’t talented, that much is obvious, but because the team opted to lock down a future with him instead of doing so with Paul Richardson, who signed a five-year, $40 million contract with Washington in the offseason. The deal also comes more than four years after the Seahawks opted to move on from Golden Tate and instead hitch a wagon, some draft picks, and $67 million (not really near that much) to Percy Harvin.
