Overview

  • The Raiders announced the Oct. 27 signing and waived wide receiver Justin Shorter to open a roster spot.
  • Lockett requested his release from Tennessee after a reduced role, posting 10 receptions for 70 yards in seven games.
  • The move reconnects Lockett with his former Seattle coach and quarterback, with both he and Pete Carroll highlighting their established chemistry and Carroll expressing "high hopes."
  • Multiple outlets note the addition could signal Las Vegas is open to moving Jakobi Meyers before the Nov. 4 deadline, though no trade has occurred.
  • Las Vegas is 2–5 with one of the league’s lowest-scoring offenses, and Lockett is eligible to debut in Week 9 against the Jaguars.
