Panthers Interested in Noah Fant?

Free-agent tight end Noah Fant is a "name to monitor" for the Carolina Panthers, according to Joseph Person of The Athletic. Person notes that Fant has a history with Panthers head coach Dave Canales and TE coach Pat McPherson from their collective time together with the Seattle Seahawks. The 27-year-old Fant was released on Sunday by Seattle after three seasons with the team. In 14 games last season, he logged 48 catches for 500 yards and one touchdown. Carolina currently has veteran Tommy Tremble, 2024 third-round pick Ja'Tavion Sanders, and 2025 fifth-rounder Mitchell Evans on their tight end depth chart. However, Tremble underwent back surgery in May and could miss time in training camp. Even if Fant signs with the Panthers, he figures to split playing time and targets with Carolina's other tight end options.
