Many fans had hopes for a splash addition after Seattle moved on from Noah Fant, but it appears the team had other plans.

The Seattle Seahawks executed a mini surprise on Sunday afternoon by releasing veteran tight end Noah Fant from his contract. General manager John Schneider made that decision official just two days before the Seahawks were set to report to training camp. It was a borderline disrespectful move to Fant.

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.
