An extension could very well get done.
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett could have his contract extended this offseason to free up cap space.
Lockett is due $9.7 million with $16.7 million guaranteed in 2023. However, Seattle wants to lower Lockett's cap number and could create around $8.6 million in cap space if they negotiate a new deal this offseason.

Lockett is currently signed through 2025 on his contract right now.
With the money the team saves on Lockett, they could use it towards negotiating a contract extension with free agent quarterback Geno Smith.
The thirty-year-old Lockett recorded 84 receptions for 1,033 yards and nine touchdowns over 16 games this season. It was the fourth straight year he surpassed the 1,000-yard mark.
