Fant is taking his time to find a new home after being released by Seattle in a move that saved the Seahawks nearly $4 million against the 2025 salary cap. Fant, 32, who missed almost the entire 2024 season with a knee injury, said he’s interested in the Ravens because they are a contender but could land with the Titans since he lives in Nashville. The Ravens, according to The Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec, are in need of a swing tackle. Fant has played both left and right tackle during his eight-year NFL career. He’s managed just 26 games over the past three seasons.

The move saves $3.8 million in cap space for Seattle in 2025. Fant only played 30 total snaps for the Seahawks in 2024. The veteran had been an acceptable stopgap for the Texans in 2023 and may wind up finding another swing tackle role in 2025 if he still wants to play. Entering his age-33 season it is no guarantee that he’ll continue to suit up.

The veteran injured his knee in the team’s Week 1 contest and has been held out ever since. His return comes just in time as the Seahawks look to upset the divisional rival Rams at home in Week 9 to claim control of a tight NFC West division.

The loss of Fant is a bad omen considering the inconsistent offensive line play from the Seahawks through two weeks, primarily considering the newfound pass-heavy nature of the offense in the absence of starting running back Kenneth Walker. Fant will miss the next four games, at minimum, after being downgraded from doubtful to out before hitting injured reserve.
