Browns must inquire about TE Noah Fant
The Cleveland Browns are still a bit light at the tight end position, and a recently released first round pick fits the bill of the kind of players they like to take chances on.
Noah Fant, a 2019 first round pick of the Denver Broncos, was released by the Seattle Seahawks over the weekend. With only David Njoku and rookie third round pick Harold Fannin Jr. as the only two tight ends of relevance on the roster, the Browns could look to kick the tires on the athletic receiving threat.
The Browns have been quite vocal that they are looking to get two or three tight ends back on the field with frequency, returning to an offensive system that yielded fruitful results before the 2023 season. Fant fits their mold, both athletically and in their tendency to take flyers on former first rounders, but would also fill a need that will currently be battled out between Blake Whiteheart and Brenden Bates.
Fant, while he has never found the success that many anticipated he would, has racked up over 3,300 yards and 15 touchdowns over his six-year career. He has been a consistent 500-yard receiver, and with the Browns lacking firepower in their wide receiver room, getting more versatile weapons in their tight end room may be their best bet to add talented pass catchers to their offense.
With training camp beginning today, the Browns would want to get Fant in the building sooner rather than later. Will the Browns make a splash move?
