NEWS: Verified Deal – Denver Broncos Football Tight End Returns to the Club!
In a major development that has electrified fans and energized the Mile High City, the Denver Broncos have officially sealed a deal to bring back one of their most dependable and dynamic offensive weapons — a veteran tight end whose return could reshape the team’s offensive identity in the 2025 season.
The Broncos confirmed Monday that they have re-signed tight end Noah Fant, a familiar face who was originally drafted by the team in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft. After spending the last two seasons with the Seattle Seahawks as part of the blockbuster trade that sent Russell Wilson to Denver, Fant now returns to the orange and blue — and he’s doing so with unfinished business on his mind.
Fant’s new contract is reportedly a two-year deal worth up to $15 million, including incentives for performance and playoff success. Sources close to the organization say the Broncos had been working behind the scenes for weeks to reunite with the athletic tight end, who brings speed, size, and pass-catching ability that fits perfectly into new head coach Sean Payton’s evolving offensive system.
Fant’s return couldn’t come at a better time. The Broncos struggled last season with consistency at the tight end position, rotating through multiple players who never quite stepped into the full-time role. Fant, who racked up 1,905 yards and 10 touchdowns during his first stint in Denver, brings proven production and familiarity with the franchise. He also boasts a strong rapport with quarterback Jarrett Stidham, who is expected to remain the starter heading into training camp.
Speaking to local media, Fant expressed both excitement and determination about his return.
> “It feels like coming home,” he said. “I’ve always loved Denver, the fans, and the atmosphere. This city drafted me, believed in me, and I’m ready to pick up where I left off — only better.”
From a tactical standpoint, Fant’s versatility opens up new dimensions for the Broncos’ offense. He’s capable of lining up in-line, in the slot, or even out wide, creating mismatches against slower linebackers or undersized defensive backs. In Seattle, Fant improved as a blocker as well, rounding out his game and becoming more of a three-down player.
Broncos general manager George Paton was enthusiastic when asked about the deal:
> “Noah is a rare athlete at his position. He knows the culture here, he’s improved every year, and we think his best football is still ahead of him. This move makes us better immediately.”
The Broncos, looking to rebound from a disappointing 8–9 campaign in 2024, have been aggressive in free agency and are clearly focused on surrounding Stidham with weapons. With Fant now back in the fold, the offense takes a major step toward becoming more balanced and dangerous.
As training camp approaches, Denver fans have every reason to be optimistic. Noah Fant is back — and he’s ready to make some noise in the Rockies once again.
