Tyler Lockett restructures contract, staying for 2024
Veteran WR Tyler Lockett and the Seattle Seahawks have agreed on a restructured deal that keeps the wideout in town for 2024 while moving some money back into 2025.
Fantasy Impact
Lockett was initially owed two years and $34 million, but with the restructure he is owed two years and $30 million with a max value of $34 million. He is also guaranteed nearly $13 million in 2024. Lockett’s time in Seattle continues, likely keeping a cap on young WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s short-term upside as Lockett averages about 79 catches for 1,074 yards and seven touchdowns over his previous three seasons.

Michael Gallup permitted to seek trade partner
Dallas Cowboys WR Michael Gallup has been permitted to seek out a trade partner amid speculation that he is a cut candidate.
Fantasy Impact
According to Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News, Gallup’s trade market is tricky given that teams anticipate the veteran WR gets released. Gallup was dished a five-year, $57.5 million deal in 2022, though Dallas has an out in the contract this offseason. He has dealt with injuries in the past and has averaged a 17-game pace of just 46 catches for 547 yards and three touchdowns over his last three seasons.
