The Seahawks cut ex-Broncos 1st-round draft pick.

The Seattle Seahawks have released tight end Noah Fant, a former first-round pick of the Denver Broncos. Fant, 27, was originally selected 20th overall in the 2019 NFL Draft by Denver before being traded to Seattle as part of the blockbuster deal that sent Russell Wilson to the Broncos in 2022.

Known for his athleticism and pass-catching ability, Fant showed flashes of potential during his time in both Denver and Seattle but never quite became the consistent offensive threat many had hoped for. With the Seahawks entering a new era under head coach Mike Macdonald, the team is clearly reshaping its roster—and Fant now finds himself looking for a new landing spot.

Despite the setback, Fant’s age and talent make him an intriguing option for teams in need of a versatile tight end.
