Seattle Seahawks Season Outlook
Seahawks released veteran tight end Noah Fant, the 2019 first-round pick who was acquired in the 2022 trade that sent Russell Wilson to Denver. Over the past three seasons in Seattle, Fant started 42 games and had 130 receptions for 1,400 yards and five touchdowns.

The Seattle Seahawks are entering a new era in 2025. They traded away Wide Receiver D.K. Metcalf and released franchise cornerstone Tyler Lockett. Seattle also traded away Quarterback Geno Smith. Seattle revamped its offense this offseason by signing Quarterback Sam Darnold and former Super Bowl MVP Wide Receiver Cooper Kupp. Without Fant in the fold, rookie Tight End Elijah Arroyo will have an outsized impact on the offense.
Final Thoughts
The NFL world will wait with bated breath to see where Fant will land. He is a talented player who can be a contributor to a winning team. Seattle will enter the season with lofty expectations. Their offense will be expected to carry the load.
