Seahawks pre-draft position overview: Tight end possible but not major need

In his fifth NFL season in 2023 and second with the Seahawks, Noah Fant posted career lows in receptions (32), yards (414) and touchdowns (zero). In what proved to be the second-biggest contract the Seahawks handed out this offseason, the Seahawks re-signed Fant to a two-year deal worth up to $21 million. Only Geno Smith, DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett will have a bigger cap hit this year on offense than Fant's $7.5 million. There was some urgency to get a deal done with Fant — who is the only one of the three veteran players the Seahawks received in the Russell Wilson trade who remains with the team — after cutting Will Dissly and seeing Colby Parkinson sign with the Rams.
