I’ll be the first to say that when Tyler Lockett’s contract extension was first announced in late August, I was confused. Not only was the offer itself a surprise but the sum of money involved was eye-opening.
#Seahawks are extending WR Tyler Lockett: three years with a base value of $31.8 million, max value of $37.8 million and $20 million guaranteed, source says. Another deal the team wanted to get done before the season.

While “guarantees” in football contract mean very little, doing some research on OverTheCap.
