Fant never exceeded 500 yards in his three seasons in Seattle and only scored one touchdown over his final two campaigns with the team. In a new era with a new offensive coordinator in Klint Kubiak, the franchise decided to save nearly $9 million and move forward with younger options at the tight end position.

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 Seattle Seahawks' tight end room next season will look rather different entering the 2025 NFL season. That's to the benefit of their second round draft pick.
