The spotlight now lands on Elijah Arroyo, Seattle’s exciting rookie tight end. Arroyo signed his rookie deal just days ago, and Fant’s release came almost immediately after. The timing there obviously isn't coincidental.

The Seattle Seahawks released Veteran Tight End Noah Fant on Sunday prior to the start of training camp next week.

Seattle has agreed to terms on tight end Elijah Arroyo's four-year rookie deal, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Arroyo, 22, was the No. 50 overall pick in this year’s draft. He was selected 15 picks after Seattle took safety Nick Emmanwori with the third selection of the second round.
