The Seattle Seahawks and veteran wide receiver Tyler Lockett are parting ways, the wide receiver announced in a social media post. He will become a free agent when the new league year begins on March 12.

"I really enjoyed being in Seattle! I met so many great people and captured so many great memories! " Lockett wrote. "The 12's really make this place meaningful! Although my time on the Seahawks may have run its course I'm thankful for everything!! God gets all the glory forever!!!!"

The Seahawks confirmed Lockett's departure with a post of their own.
