The Seahawks released veteran tight end Noah Fant Sunday ahead of the start of training camp.
A 2019 first-round pick of the Broncos, Fant spent the past three seasons with the Seahawks after being acquired in the 2022 trade that sent Russell Wilson to Denver. Over the past three seasons, Fant appeared in 48 games for the Seahawks, starting 42, and had 130 receptions for 1,400 yards and five touchdowns.
In addition to freeing up salary cap space, Fant’s release will also mean more opportunities for second-year tight end AJ Barner, rookie Elijah Arroyo and veteran free-agent addition Eric Saubert. The Seahawks also have a pair of undrafted rookie tight ends on the roster, Marshall Lang and Nick Kallerup.
