Sources: Seahawks to retain DL Leonard Williams, TE Noah Fant

The Seattle Seahawks have agreed to deals to bring back defensive lineman Leonard Williams and tight end Noah Fant, sources told ESPN on Monday.

Locking up Williams takes care of one of the team's top priorities on the first day of the NFL's negotiating window, and it comes after their defensive front took a hit with inside linebacker Jordyn Brooks agreeing to sign with the Miami Dolphins.

The Seahawks acquired Williams, 29, in a trade with the New York Giants in late October.

Fant's return comes after the Seahawks lost two of their other top three tight ends from 2023, with Colby Parkinson agreeing to a deal with the Los Angeles Rams and Will Dissly, released by Seattle last week, agreeing to sign with the Los Angeles Chargers.
