He <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/cincinnati-bengals/bengals-news-zac-taylor-trying-new-preseason-strategy-joe-burrow-other-stars">needed extra time to acclimate to Taylor’s system</a> ahead of their preseason matchup against the Washington Commanders on Monday. After losing to the Philadelphia Eagles 34-27 in their preseason opener, the Bengals will face Washington.</p><p>Fant, who didn’t play in the loss to the Eagles, called Taylor “gracious” for giving him an extra week to prepare. While getting used to Taylor’s <a href="https://www.si.com/nfl/bengals/new-cincinnati-bengals-te-noah-fant-eager-to-debut-his-role-in-complicated-detailed-offense-01k2yn4zfj9t" rel="noopener">offense has been challenging</a>, Fant says it’s in a good way, per Sports Illustrated’s Jay Morrison.</p><p>“I don’t think it’s complicated in a bad way,” Fant said of the Bengals offense. “It’s just very detailed to be able to scratch any itch that you need against any defense in the league. You need to know a lot of things.</p><p>“Obviously, this is a new offense that I’ve been learning for two weeks, so being in the huddle, hearing those live calls is going to be super helpful for me to get in the flow,” he added. “It was good that they let me get my feet underneath me before I got out there.”</p><p>Fant has been impressed with his new quarterback, Joe Burrow, who has met the veteran’s high expectations. This, along with the opportunity to team up with Burrow, played a significant role in his decision to sign with the Bengals after considering offers from the Miami Dolphins and the New Orleans Saints.</p><p>“I’m going to be honest with you, I came in with the highest expectations, and he’s lived up to all of that,” Fant said. “His mentality every day coming to work is attacking the day, being detailed, all those things. It never falters. That’s who he is. So I’ve really appreciated that and enjoyed working with that and being in this offense.”</p><p>Bengals’ Noah Fant signed a one-year, $2.75 million contract, with a possible additional $1.5 million in incentives.</p><h2><b>Zac Taylor has new preseason strategy for Joe Burrow, Bengals</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Bengals-head-coach-Zac-Taylor.jpg"><figcaption>Bill Streicher-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Amidst a preseason where <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/cincinnati-bengals/bengals-news-joe-burrow-ultimate-joe-montana-compliment-from-rival-coach">Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow received the ultimate praise</a> from a rival coach, head coach Zac Taylor revealed his starting QB would play in their preseason opener with a new style.

During a media session this week, the head coach swiftly shut down questions about Fant’s exit, giving little insight into a move that saved the Seahawks cap space and hinted at a larger change in roster philosophy.</p><p>The Athletic’s Michael-Shawn Dugar spoke directly with Macdonald and later took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share the full exchange about the release of the former-Broncos tight end—a move that surprised the fan base. Macdonald’s response was <a href="https://x.com/MikeDugar/status/1948145876645613835" rel="noopener">blunt and unapologetically vague</a>.</p><p>“I’m not going to tell you exactly why. There’s multiple reasons.”</p><p>When pressed further, he added only that the release had occurred “a few days ago,” declining to elaborate. The lack of detail has fueled speculation but reflects the tight-lipped approach of Seattle’s new leadership.</p><p>Fant’s departure follows three solid but unspectacular seasons in Seattle. In 2024, he recorded 48 receptions for 500 yards and just one touchdown. With minimal scoring production and a cap hit nearing $9 million, the cap space relief was significant. His release creates flexibility for contract extensions or potential midseason acquisitions.</p><p>Additionally, the Seahawks tight end depth chart appears to be trending younger. Rookie Elijah Arroyo has impressed during minicamp, while second-year TE AJ Barner is competing for a larger role. With the team shifting toward a faster, more dynamic offensive identity under new offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb, the tight end room is part of that rebuild.</p><p>This roster evolution reflects the broader vision of the second-year head coach. His tenure has been marked by strategic cap decisions, a revamped offense, and a defense-first identity. Fant simply no longer fit the mold. Despite a respectable 291 career receptions and over 3,300 yards, his reduced impact in last season likely sealed his fate.</p><p>The release of the sixth-year tight end wasn’t sudden—It was strategic. And while no specifics have been offered, the Seahawks’ recent moves paint a clear picture that the team is embracing a youth-driven, cap-conscious approach heading into the upcoming NFL season.</p><p>As for Fant, he’s set to visit the Cincinnati Bengals Thursday and may land on a contender in need of some veteran depth.

During the offseason, they <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/raiders-news-shocking-geno-smith-trade-seahawks">traded Geno Smith to the Oakland Raiders</a> and traded DK Metcalf to the Pittsburgh Steelers. That isn’t the only move they’ve made on offense, as <a href="https://x.com/TomPelissero/status/1947019324251603063" rel="noopener">they just released</a> Noah Fant, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.</p><p>Fant spent three seasons with the Seahawks after being in the trade that sent Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos. Fant played in 48 games for the Seahawks over those three seasons, and had 48 catches for 1,400 yards and five touchdowns.</p><p>It felt like Fant was on the outside looking in when it came to his role on the offense this season, and the Seahawks may have been looking to trade him. Since he’s a free agent, he can outright sign with a team that may be looking for help at the tight end position.</p><p>For the Seahawks, there will be more opportunities for the tight ends on the tight end, which include AJ Barner, Eric Saubert, and rookie Elijah Arroyo. There are also undrafted tight ends on the roster, Marshall Lang and Nick Kallerup.</p><p>It will be interesting to see what the Seahawks’ offense will look like this season, especially with Sam Darnold as the quarterback. They’ve also added Cooper Kupp, and hopefully, he can have a productive and healthy season for the team.</p><p>During the offseason, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/seattle-seahawks/seahawks-news-sam-darnold-dishes-on-what-makes-cooper-kupp-unique">Darnold shared on the Rich Eisen Show</a> what he thinks makes Kupp special.</p><p>“Coop is amazing, the way he moves is very unique I think,” Darnold said. “Being able to get a ton of reps with him and just see how he kind of gets in and out of routes, like I said it’s different. That’s what made him such a great player, just the way you know he can make certain routes look the same and he ends up in completely different spot. It’s very unique and he is different that way.”</p><p>It will be interesting to see how much success the Seahawks will have this season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Tight end Noah Fant and quarterback Drew Lock arrived in Seattle from Denver. While Fant is a rising star at his position, Lock has struggled to make good on the potential that made him a second-round pick back in 2019. With the Seahawks announcing that they’re “<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/seahawks-news-pete-carroll-drops-major-hint-on-seattle-qb-activity-amid-baker-mayfield-links/">still in the quarterback business</a>“, it would seem that they’re not entirely convinced that Lock is anything more than a backup. Fant, who is very familiar with Lock, declared him to be a ‘franchise guy’ in a bold statement, as reported by <a href="https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/04/05/noah-fant-drew-lock-has-the-talent-to-be-a-franchise-quarterback/">Pro Football Talk</a>.</p><blockquote>“Drew’s biggest attribute is his arm. He’s made some insane throw in the time that we’ve played together. He has all the talent in the world. . . . I think he has all the opportunity and all the talent in the world to get it done and be that franchise guy,” Fant said, via Curtis Crabtree of KCPQ.</blockquote><p>Fant didn’t hold back, saying that Lock has “all the talent in the world” and can be a “franchise guy.” The Missouri product has struggled to make an impact in three seasons, with his best season coming in 2020, where he completed 57.3 percent of his passes while throwing for 16 touchdowns and 15 interceptions.</p><p>The Broncos clearly didn’t see a ‘franchise guy’ in Lock, which is why they were willing to mortgage their future for Wilson. Perhaps a change of scenery in Seattle with the always-positive Pete Carroll will do wonders for Lock’s game?</p><p>Time will tell. However, the fourth-year pro can rest assured that he has the backing of his teammates, like Fant.

He emerged as one of the best tight ends in the league with the Denver Broncos. But based on his experience working in their offense, the trade to Seattle may have been desirable to him.</p><p>On the radio show <a href="https://denverfan.com/2097556/noah-fant-tells-stokley-and-zach-he-found-out-he-was-traded-on-espn/">Stokley and Zach</a>, Fant explained that his game is predicated on getting downfield and making big plays. The Broncos used him in shorter routes and made him work more like a slot receiver, which frustrated him.</p><blockquote>“And over my time in Denver, I felt like that narrative kind of got muddled down a little bit. It was more of a focus of me catching flat balls or whatever it may be, and then trying to be a shifty guy and elusive guy and try to break as many tackles possible to get my yards. I view myself as a downfield threat, getting open space, then I can make things happen. It was a little frustrating being used in the short field.”</blockquote><p>Denver misusing Fant and having mediocre-at-best quarterback play sunk their chances at making the playoffs last season despite having a very strong defense. Having Russell Wilson and Nathaniel Hackett might have given Fant the opportunity he wants but Seattle sought his services and he was traded, along with other players and picks, in exchange for the star quarterback.</p><p>Unfortunately, Fant now finds himself in a Seahawks offense that has come under fire for being <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/seahawks-news-russell-wilsons-former-teammate-savagely-rips-seattle-after-broncos-trade/">too restrictive</a>. The team’s quarterback situation is less than ideal and they already have two strong pass catchers in D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett. Still, Fant has the talent to be one of the best at his position for a while.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

At one point in time, they had dreams of landing Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Now, they’re back to square one deciding between Lock and Bridgewater.</p><p>One big offensive factor entering the season is tight end Noah Fant. The versatile playmaker expects to have a breakout campaign and <a href="https://www.9news.com/article/sports/nfl/denver-broncos/noah-fant-2021/73-7f15eb46-fb34-494a-8c98-818090340263">via Mike Klis of KUSA</a>, he still doesn’t have a preference on who starts at quarterback.</p><blockquote>“Both have different styles of game,” Fant said. “Everybody knows Teddy is the more thought-out thinker and he’s going to anticipate his throws more. And you have Drew who has that arm talent where he can go on the fly. He can put the ball where he needs it. It just depends what our offensive coordinator is going for, what our coaches are looking for, I think they’re both great quarterbacks.”</blockquote><p>The Broncos have some promising young weapons on offense, a list that includes Fant, Jerry Jeudy and Javonte Williams. They’re just looking for the right quarterback to step up and orchestrate the offense.</p><p>There’s still plenty of time for the Broncos to decide and after a couple of preseason runs they will likely have a far clearer picture of which direction to go in.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
