Fant, a tight end available to the Seattle Seahawks, should have enough interest in using him. If signed, the 6-foot-5, 241-pound athlete would help alleviate the tight end problems for several teams. I’m keeping a close eye on the rumors that are circulating around Indianapolis.

Fant is a player to keep an eye on when free agency begins. Three teams emerged as serious bidders for Fant, according to various sources: the Miami Dolphins, the Cincinnati Bengals, and the Washington Commanders. His weight, height, and speed would be a good fit for those offensive teams’ abilities.

Cincinnati Bengals
Tanner Hudson, Irv Smith Jr., and Drew Sample as a trio needs to get better. In 2023, the three pass catchers combined for 630 receiving yards. TE is still a definite need for the Bengals. With a lethal precise quarterback like Joe Burrow, Noah Fant’s skills might be just what the doctor ordered. With Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins (until he is traded) receiving all of the defense’s attention, Burrow can exploit one-on-one mismatches with his arsenal of weapons. Fant might prosper in the Bengals’ system with Burrow.

MiamiDolphins
I have already stated that the Dolphins need to upgrade at tight end, maybe by selecting TCU’s Jared Wiley in the 2024 NFL Draft. Fant’s addition to this explosive and high-octane offense may take some of the strain off Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill. He can fill in for man coverage and stretch the seams for Tua Tagovailoa in the center of the field with a bigger, more athletic target.

Washington Commanders
Last but not least, Logan Thomas’s free agency is predicted to cost the Commanders. They would also need to bolster the pool of talent at the position even if he stayed on the roster. Fant will provide a strong pass catcher for their “future” rookie quarterback to rely on when facing safeties and linebackers.
