After Loss to Patriots, WR with 4 Straight 1,000-Yard Seasons Leaves Titans – Declares Willing to Take Pay Cut to Wear the Team He’s Always Dreamed Of
Foxborough, Massachusetts – October 24, 2025
In an emotional development following a 13–31 loss to the New England Patriots, the Tennessee Titans have officially granted the contract release request of veteran superstar Tyler Lockett. This decision not only closes a brief chapter in Nashville but opens the door to a new one — where Lockett hopes to contribute to the team he has always admired: the New England Patriots.
The 33-year-old, who recorded 4 consecutive seasons surpassing 1,000 receiving yards while with the Seattle Seahawks, is regarded as one of the most consistent WRs in the NFL over the past decade. However, his stint in Tennessee fell short of expectations. In the first seven games of the season, he recorded just 10 receptions and no touchdowns. With a 1–6 record and a coaching change, the Titans are in a rebuilding phase, and Lockett understands he needs a different environment to keep burning bright.
Immediately after leaving the team, he sent a message that sent the Patriots fan community into a frenzy:
“I know exactly the kind of football the Patriots represent — discipline, steel spirit, and faith that never fades. I’ve always wanted to fight alongside the Patriots, even if just once in my life. If that means taking a pay cut, I’m ready.”
Insider sources report that the Patriots are seriously considering bringing Lockett into the practice squad, before elevating him to the active roster if he adapts well. With his smart play style, fluid route-running, and seasoned experience, Lockett could become the perfect mentor for young QB Drake Maye and a high-class addition alongside Stefon Diggs.
The Patriots are currently soaring with a 5–2 record, and the arrival of a passion-filled veteran like Lockett could serve as a crucial spiritual catalyst for the upcoming AFC race.
Though the future remains unconfirmed, one thing is clear — the Patriots have reignited in Tyler Lockett a fire long thought dormant, and he is ready to continue his journey in Foxborough, where the dream of “fighting with the Patriots” awaits.
