Scouts questioned AJ Barner's pass-catching ceiling before the draft, but with Noah Fant's release comes an opportunity for the Seahawks' second-year tight end.

The coaches limited Walker during offseason practices to preserve him. Now he’s full go. Fant leaving makes AJ Barner a starter.

Tight end Noah Fant, a 2019 first-round pick and a piece of the trade that sent Russell Wilson, was recently cut by the Seahawks.

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.

With the Seahawks being a little more flush with cash, it is once again time we at Seahawks Wire renew our call for the team to find a way to acquire defensive end Trey Hendrickson from the Cincinnati Bengals.
