Four tight ends in free agency that the Broncos might consider signing in 2024.
Noah Fant, part of the package traded by the Denver Broncos to acquire Russell Wilson, stands as the youngest among the four tight ends discussed in this article and has consistently demonstrated productivity throughout his career, which notably began with the Denver Broncos.
Fant joins the ranks of successful Iowa tight ends in the NFL, and with the recent appointment of Mike Macdonald as head coach for the Seattle Seahawks, there might be a chance for a reunion with the Broncos, considering the coaching staff’s potential reluctance to re-sign Fant.
In the 2023 season with the Seahawks, Fant secured 32 receptions for 414 yards without scoring any touchdowns. In his debut year with Seattle in 2022, he recorded 50 catches for 486 yards and four touchdowns, indicating a decline in production compared to his tenure with Denver.
However, Fant maintains a commendable catch percentage, having successfully caught 71 percent of his targets throughout his career. Notably, he registered as many as 68 receptions in 2021. Unless Fant expresses no interest in returning to the Denver Broncos, there seems to be no compelling reason not to consider bringing him back.
Considering the relatively limited depth in the free agent tight end market, Denver must act swiftly if they intend to enhance this unit through free agency.
