George Fant enjoyed his time with the Seahawks, but there is a part of him that’s happy he won’t hear “No. 74 is an eligible receiver” anymore.

Fant, the first player the Jets agreed to a contract with during this free agency, often played that role with Seattle. He was used as a sixth offensive lineman/tight end to help open holes for the Seahawks' running game and provide more protection for quarterback Russell Wilson.
