ST.All-Pro WR with Four Straight 1,000-yard Seasons Visits the Philadelphia Eagles just one day after the Titans granted his request for release — per source.
Philadelphia, October 22, 2025 (ET) — Per source, Tyler Lockett visited the Philadelphia Eagles’ facility one day after the Tennessee Titans approved his request to be released. Procedurally, he becomes eligible to sign with a new team after 4:00 PM ET on Wednesday, October 22.
The visit is believed to cover a quick medical, role discussions, and preliminary playbook fit. The Eagles need a polished slot/Z route-runner to stabilize third-down efficiency.
Lockett brings four straight 1,000-yard seasons (2019–2022) and consistent sideline reliability. His press release, late hands, and toe-tap skills sync naturally with Jalen Hurts’ scramble-drill style.
If signed, he could plug into choice/option, slot fade, deep over, and corner-post concepts immediately. In the red zone and two-minute, he profiles as a trusted target in high-low, sail, and smash structures.
Special teams usage would be situational, prioritizing secure punts late in games. A plausible framework is a one-year prorated deal with a low base plus snap/production incentives and playoff bonuses.
The trade-off is low cost for Philadelphia and a title runway for Lockett. Next steps would be medical clearance, role alignment, and a formal agreement once he is eligible to sign.
Jets Star RB Issues “SOS” to Patriots Before Trade Deadline — “I Want to Leave the Worst Team for the Best Team in the NFL”
Per source — A New York Jets star running back
has proactively expressed a desire to leave New York for the New England Patriots ahead of the November 4 trade deadline.
The move stems from a hunger to compete for a championship immediately
and a belief that the Patriots provide the best stage to realize that ambition.
From a football standpoint, this RB fits Mike Vrabel’s balanced wide-zone/play-action/RPO architecture and would add the kind of
explosiveness New England could leverage down the stretch.
If he arrives at Gillette Stadium, he could step right into outside/split zone, pin–pull/toss, screen/angle/choice, and pony personnel (2 RB)
packages to create mismatches against linebackers and safeties alongside Drake Maye.
From the Jets’ perspective—given a long-term posture and the aim to stockpile draft capital—a reasonable offer from
New England could be entertained.
Hypothetical trade framework: Patriots send a 2026 Round 4 pick plus a conditional 2027 Day 3 pick (escalators tied to snaps/yards/playoffs) in exchange for an RB on a
low-cost contract.
Risks & counters: Prior injury history requires workload management; role clarity with New England’s current RB room is essential to avoid disrupting offensive rhythm; the price could rise
if multiple teams engage.
Timeline: Establish parameters → conduct medicals → tune salary/bonuses → submit paperwork before the Nov. 4 deadline.
