**Former Broncos Tight End Signs With Seahawks**
Tight end Eric Saubert is once again on the move, landing with the Seattle Seahawks after spending last season with the San Francisco 49ers. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the Seahawks signed Saubert, keeping him in the NFC West. He’ll now compete for snaps alongside Noah Fant and AJ Barner in Seattle’s tight end group.
Saubert appeared in 17 games for the 49ers in 2024, starting three. During the season, he recorded 11 catches for 97 yards and one touchdown. Over his seven-year NFL career, Saubert has totaled 47 receptions, 389 receiving yards, three touchdowns, and one fumble.
The Drake University product has had a journeyman career, suiting up for several teams, but his most notable stint came with the Denver Broncos. During his two seasons in Denver, Saubert started 10 games and contributed 23 receptions for 195 yards, two touchdowns, and eight first-down conversions.
Now entering his age-31 season, Saubert brings veteran experience to Seattle’s roster. Though unlikely to be a featured playmaker, he is considered a reliable pass-catcher when needed and will provide depth and stability to the Seahawks’ tight end corps.
