Overview

• Washington announced the addition of George Fant on Tuesday following his visit last week.
• Fant is expected to back up Laremy Tunsil at left tackle and offer flexibility on either edge as Washington sorts out tackle roles in the preseason.
• Josh Conerly Jr. and Andrew Wylie are competing for right tackle, with Fant adding another option as injuries and position shuffling are managed.
• Fant appeared in two games for Seattle in 2024 after starting 16 for Houston in 2023 and has 75 career starts with the Seahawks, Jets and Texans.
• The move is described as having minimal cap impact for a team that began the day with nearly $17 million in space, and it extends Washington’s growing list of former Seahawks players and coaches.
