The Seattle Seahawks made the decision to release veteran tight end Noah Fant on Sunday afternoon. By doing so, general manager John Schneider showed a terrific amount of faith in AJ Barner and Elijah Arroyo.

On Sunday, the Seattle Seahawks announced that they had released veteran tight end Noah Fant. Just last March, the 27-year-old pass-catcher agreed to a two-year, $21 million extension. His $8.5 million base salary for this upcoming season is now off Seattle's books.

The former Iowa tight end was released by the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday after spending three seasons in the Pacific Northwest. Reports are that the Seahawks released Fant to give more playing time to a couple of younger tight ends on the roster, AJ Barner and Elijah Arroyo.
