Ricardo Lockette is the latest player to officially re-sign with the Seahawks.

The wide receiver is listed as an exclusive rights signing for Seattle on the NFL.com transactions report for Tuesday, meaning he has signed a tender offer from the franchise.

Lockette indicated via Twitter on March 10 that he had signed a one-year deal with the team, which Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times reported to be worth $660,000.

Lockette, 28, has 18 catches for 382 yards and three touchdowns in 24 regular season games with the Seahawks. He had three receptions for 59 yards in the Super Bowl loss to New England, and he was the intended target on the final play of that game.

Lockette was initially signed by the Seahawks as an undrafted free agent in 2011. He bounced around the practice squads for Seattle, Chicago and San Francisco before returning to the Seahawks in 2013 and finally cracking an active roster.

In addition to being a role player in the receiver corps, Lockette has been an integral part of the Seahawks special teams since rejoining Seattle.
