A former Seattle Seahawk has found a new home. Early on Tuesday morning, NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported that right tackle George Fant will be signing with the Washington Commanders. Fant was a Seahawks from 2016-2019, and once again in 2024 – unfortunately, his season last year was marred by injuries and he was limited to only two games.
Now, the Commanders will become his fourth NFL organization. Fant will reunite with former Seahawks teammates Bobby Wagner, Jacob Martin, Nick Bellore and even long snapper Tyler Ott. We often jokingly refer to the Commanders as the “other Washington” but these days it appears this statement is more fact than humor.
Fant was a solid starter for the Seahawks, and would have been reliable depth behind Abe Lucas. Sadly, the aforementioned injuries sort of spoiled his second stint in Seattle. We at Seahawks Wire wish Fant the best of luck in our nation’s capital city for the 2025 campaign.

Fant will face his former team in Week 9 as the Seahawks and Commanders will face off on Sunday Night Football. The prime time showdown will be a double-throwback uniform game, as both Seattle and (this always feels a little awkward writing out) Washington will both be wearing their classic uniforms.
