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.

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

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.
