Thoughts? I tend to agree…although it sucks thinking about him not being a Seahawk.

Why? So we want to trade Lockett, DK and Wilson. Lol.yeah 2-15 here we come.
I’m not on that bus John 
There are some things in the article that make sense although, I think his trade value is understated.
It might be a crazy thought but, read it and see for yourself. The likelihood of recouping anything later is slim.
He’s one of my favorite Seahawk btw.

He isn't that old yet and it is not like the Hawks need the cap space and who would be the number 2 WR be? If we had a good young guy waiting maybe but not now.

I red the article and again makes no sense.

Nah.
You can’t trade Lock right now.
Seattle isn’t deep enough at receiver to lose Lockett.
If you trade Lockett, you gonna see Seattle draft another receiver probably in the second round.

The part I agree with is how much he’s going to cost in 2-3 years from now. We’d incur a pretty big hit if we were to trade him now and his annual $$ is a great deal.
2023…different story… All that wrapped up in what’s supposed to be a run-heavy O? I really don’t see being able to keep both.
I didn’t write the article. Just found a few parts of interest!

Is this a serious question?
He's too valuable to us.
I'm definitely someone on here that usually screams to trade certain valuable players because they're not worth their contract.
That being said Lockett is NOT one of them. I am very partial to Seahawk players who are consistently good at their position therefore worth their pay and also do not tend to be a topic of drama on their team whether issues with other players, not getting the ball enough, schemes, etc. etc. They just come to work and work hard consistently and produce results. Lockett game in and game out, just goes out there and takes what he's given and he's consistently good. and yeah no drama after each game, not throwing tantrums on the sidelines if it's a game he's not getting the ball. His injury history has also been quite good as well.
So yeah I'm all for keeping Lockett. Few players I feel/felt the same way about, Wagner, KJ, Cliff Avril all come to mind.
The only reason you trade Lockett, if it is time to start completely over. And in that case sure go for it.

I’m always astounded by those that want to trade our best players.
I am less astounded by John always making everything about RW. Just stfu already.

I'd trade DK before I'd trade Lockett.
Unless you're planning on trading Russell and rebuilding, then yes unfortunately trading Lockett makes sense.
But if we're in win now spend a bunch of cash in free agency keep Russell and see if we can run it back plans for 2022 and 2023? You have to keep him, no one on the entire team understands how Russell thinks more than Tyler.

Nearly everything from 12th Man Rising and similar sites are click bait. The writers on there are slightly better, if that, than some on here. IMO, they throw crap against the wall to see what happens. The more outrageous the more clicks, the better management likes it.

Wasn’t familiar either the site but, I agree. The author stated they wouldn’t trade Lockett so a lot of it is hypothetical. I do think the salary increase, coupled with what DK is likely to get, may be challenging. Between those 2 and Russ, it’s up there after this season.

Obviously, anyone knows that the way to make your team better is to get rid of your best players. Genius! :sarcasm_on:

Wilson and Lockett have a Vulcan mind-meld thing going on during scramble drill. Wilson would be lost without Lockett.
Russell's defense reading rules when dropping back to pass:
1) Is the bomb up the sidelines "on"? Yes: Throw it! No: Where's Tyler??
2) Run around for 5 seconds looking for Tyler and reading which side to throw it based on DB's coverage

This article shows a complete lack of understanding of Lockett's contract. If you are going to write an article about trading a player then at least googling the contract should be the minimum required effort. Lockett's performance on the field is completely besides the point.
Lockett has 4 years left on his deal and nearly all of the remaining guaranteed money is the pro-rated bonus money that counts against our salary cap no matter what. That is money that the Seattle Seahawks have already paid him and whether we keep him, trade him, or cut him, it will affect our books and not that of any of other team. As a result, trading Lockett this off-season would generate -$18m in cap room and cost significant cap instead of freeing any of it. That would make absolutely no sense whatsoever and discussing it even this much is a waste of my time typing it and a waste of your time reading it.
