In what seems like wild timing, a starting tight end from last season has just hit the market before the start of full training camp for a lot of teams, including the Cleveland Browns. On Sunday, the Seattle Seahawks released TE Noah Fant, a key component (after the draft picks) in the team’s trade of QB Russell Wilson three seasons ago.
The 6’4” Fant was the Seahawks starting tight end the last three seasons, including 48 receptions for 500 yards and a touchdown in 2024. Fant had just five fewer receiving yards than Browns TE David Njoku last year, despite Njoku having 16 more receptions and 33 more targets.
