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.

On Sunday, the Seattle Seahawks announced that they had released veteran tight end Noah Fant. Just last March, the 27-year-old pass-catcher agreed to a two-year, $21 million extension. His $8.5 million base salary for this upcoming season is now off Seattle's books.
