The are extending one of the core players for three years, keeping him in the fold through 2021. No, not that guy. . According to a report from Network's Mike Garofolo, the Seahawks are handing Lockett a three-year Nick Vannett Jersey extension worth $37.8 million and containing $20 million is guarantees. 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.

The average annual value of $12.6 million on his extension will make him the 16th highest-paid receiver in football, Delano Hill Jersey while the $20 million guarantee ranks 14th at the position.
