Offensive lineman George Fant will no longer report as eligible for the Seattle Seahawks going forward. The tackle/tight end has reached a three-year agreement with the New York Jets.
Per ESPN’s Adam Shefter, the deal is worth $30 million with $13.7 million guaranteed.
Fant had been used in a mostly backup role in Seattle and it’s no surprise he chose to test the waters of free agency and see if he could cash in as a starter elsewhere.
Fant very well might not be the last Seahawks offensive lineman to leave Seattle this offseason, as guards Germain Ifedi and Mike Iupati are also both unrestricted free agents. D.J. Fluker and center Justin Britt both have the potential to become cap casualties.
