Scouts questioned AJ Barner's pass-catching ceiling before the draft, but with Noah Fant's release comes an opportunity for the Seahawks' second-year tight end.

The coaches limited Walker during offseason practices to preserve him. Now he’s full go. Fant leaving makes AJ Barner a starter.

Tight end Noah Fant, a 2019 first-round pick and a piece of the trade that sent Russell Wilson, was recently cut by the Seahawks.

Former Seattle Seahawks offensive tackle George Fant could be close to finding his next NFL home. On Tuesday morning, league insider Jordan Schultz reported Fant will be working out with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs are having injury issues with starter Tristan Wirfs and are looking to have some legitimate depth at the position to help out.

The Seattle Seahawks released tight end Noah Fant, the team announced Sunday. The Seahawks saved $8.91 million against the salary cap by releasing Fant after he was due a non-guaranteed salary of $8.49 million in 2025, per Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times.

The Seahawks’ starting tight end has a year left on his contract, but it’s not a total lock that he’ll remain on the team entering the regular season.

With the Seahawks being a little more flush with cash, it is once again time we at Seahawks Wire renew our call for the team to find a way to acquire defensive end Trey Hendrickson from the Cincinnati Bengals.

Seahawks fans also believe Elijah Arroyo could play a part in helping the Seahawks to a strong start to the 2025 season.
