And I thought he was the one Iowa TE who hasn't played to his potential. I guess this would probably be a mid-range contract for a starting TE.Noah Fant signed a 2 year, $21,000,000 contract with the Seattle Seahawks, including a $9,000,000 signing bonus
Part of that has been underwhelming QB play.And I thought he was the one Iowa TE who hasn't played to his potential. I guess this would probably be a mid-range contract for a starting TE.
Now blow up the next 2 years and get a huge deal!
I have no idea how he got this contract. He really has not done much.
It’s been pretty clear they are full of clown moves for awhile. The Russ trade/contract is just the peakNeeds to be in a system where he can flourish like Kelce... never understood why Denver drafted him to block. But now we are seeing the Denver was full of clown moves
The new HC for the Seattle was at Michigan just three years ago...he is a defensive guy but also comes from the Harbaughs' (plural) philosophy...they will throw to the TESurprised he stayed in Seattle. They did not use him at all over the last two seasons. Rarely targeted. He does have the occasional big drop but he’s a weapon when he gets targets (and catches).
MIght be the worst collection of trades and moves since Ruth...It’s been pretty clear they are full of clown moves for awhile. The Russ trade/contract is just the peak
$10 million per year for a tight end. That's a huge deal not too long ago. Gronk made $70 million over 11 years.And I thought he was the one Iowa TE who hasn't played to his potential. I guess this would probably be a mid-range contract for a starting TE.
Now blow up the next 2 years and get a huge deal!
Brian Ferentz should have been fired in 2018 for playing Max Cooper over Noah Fant.Another reminder how lucky we are to have a new OC:
"IOWA CITY, Iowa – The way in which junior tight end Noah Fant is being used, or not being used on offense, is one of the strangest things I’ve seen in nearly 30 years of covering the Iowa football team.
One of the most physically gifted and established tight ends in the history of the Iowa program for some reason has been reduced to a role player.
It’s hard to even call the 6-foot-5, 241-pound Fant a decoy, because in order to be a decoy, a player has to be on the field.
There were many times during Saturday’s 14-10 loss to Northwestern at Kinnick Stadium when Fant wasn’t even on the field. He only played eight snaps in the second half and finished with one catch for zero yards and was targeted just three times in a game in which Iowa quarterback Nate Stanley attempted 41 passes.
Iowa faced a third-and-11 from the Northwestern 20 in the third quarter and chose to throw a fade to receiver Max Cooper, who barely stands six feet tall. Needless to say, the play didn't work.
Fant, despite having a 42-inch vertical jump and a knack for making touchdown catches, wasn't even on the field for that play.
That doesn't make sense if your goal is to always have the best players who give you best chance to win as it should be."
This was BF’s pettiness after Fant’s brother told a reporter he thought his brother was being underutilized. I recall being shocked at how petty that move was.Another reminder how lucky we are to have a new OC:

He showed it again by not wearing hawk gear after getting canned (for good reason) f bfThis was BF’s pettiness after Fant’s brother told a reporter he thought his brother was being underutilized. I recall being shocked at how petty that move was.
This one shocked me. Fant hasn’t even been an average NFL tight end.
