Overview
- Washington announced the agreement Tuesday after Fant's visit last week, adding a 75-start veteran with experience at both tackle spots.
- Fant appeared in only two games in 2024 during his return to Seattle and was released in March after entering last season as the Seahawks’ starting right tackle.
- He is expected to serve as depth behind new left tackle Laremy Tunsil and function as a swing option across the line.
- Andrew Wylie and first-round pick Josh Conerly Jr. are competing at right tackle, and Wylie lined up at left guard in the preseason with Brandon Coleman dealing with an injury.
- The Commanders had nearly $17 million in cap space entering Tuesday; before choosing Washington, Fant considered the Titans and Ravens and visited the Buccaneers, and his signing adds to the team’s Seattle connections.
