US EditionSeahawks Release Tight End Noah Fant Ahead of Start of Training Camp
KING COUNTY, WASHINGTON, JUL 20 – The Seahawks freed $8.91 million in salary cap space by releasing Fant to focus on younger tight ends like Elijah Arroyo and AJ Barner for the 2025 season.
- On Sunday, the Seattle Seahawks parted ways with experienced tight end Noah Fant just days before training camp was set to begin on Wednesday.
- Fant was set to play the last year of a two-year deal valued at up to $21 million, which included a non-guaranteed $8.49 million salary for the 2025 season.
- Over three seasons with Seattle, Fant appeared in 42 games as a starter, recording a total of 130 receptions, 1,400 receiving yards, and five touchdowns, although he missed three contests last year due to a groin injury.
- By releasing Fant just days before veterans report to camp, the Seahawks will reduce their payroll by $9 million in actual payments and free up $8.91 million in salary cap space, a move insider Corbin Smith described as unusual timing for the franchise.
- Seattle plans to feature younger tight ends including second-round rookie Elijah Arroyo, second-year AJ Barner, and undrafted rookies Marshall Lang and Nick Kallerup as veterans report.
