Patrick Daugherty discusses the Seattle Seahawks' release of Noah Fant and whether rookie tight end Elijah Arroyo could fill the shoes of DK Metcalf.

Days after they did not report with all other rookies for training camp, Elijah Arroyo has joined fellow second-round draft choice Nick Emmanwori as signed and into Seattle’s camp.

The Seahawks begin training camp this week. Here are players and key position battles to watch -- and a 53-man roster projection.

Arroyo will compete with AJ Barner for the starting tight end job after the Seahawks released Noah Fant on Sunday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports. A second-round pick, Arroyo was going to be in the mix for the starting job regardless,

Seattle has agreed to terms on tight end Elijah Arroyo's four-year rookie deal, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Arroyo, 22, was the No. 50 overall pick in this year’s draft. He was selected 15 picks after Seattle took safety Nick Emmanwori with the third selection of the second round.

The Seattle Seahawks are scheduled to report to training camp next week. Meanwhile rookie second-round picks Nick Emmanwori and Elijah Arroyo have yet to sign their rookie deals over a league-wide dispute in guaranteed money in second-round contracts.
