Former Denver Broncos TE Noah Fant’s fifth-year option is being exercised by the Seattle Seahawks, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Schefter adds that Fant is the first player from the 2019 draft class to earn such a distinction. The tag will cost the Seahawks $6.85 million, according to the Seattle Times‘ Bob Condotta.
The Seahawks acquired Noah Fant last month in a trade for Russell Wilson. In addition to Fant, the team acquired fellow teammates Drew Lock and Shelby Harris. They received multiple draft picks as well.
