RENTON, Wash. (AP) — The Seattle Seahawks brought back two of their own players to address areas of need on the opening day of free agency.

The Seahawks agreed to terms with defensive lineman Leonard Williams and tight end Noah Fant, three people with knowledge of the deals said Monday. They spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because the team had not announced either signing.

Williams posted on social media that he was returning to the Seahawks after agreeing to a three-year deal worth up to $64.5 million.

Bleacher Report first reported the Fant agreement, which was Seattle’s first move on a hectic first day of free agency. Fant’s deal is for two years and up to $21 million.

Williams was Seattle’s top priority going into free agency after the team gave up a pair of draft picks — including a 2024 second-rounder — to the New York Giants to acquire the defensive lineman midway through last season.

Williams was a standout in the 10 games he played for the Seahawks, recording 41 tackles, nine tackles for loss and four sacks. It was the second time Williams was traded — he was sent from the New York Jets to the Giants midway through the 2019 season.

He will have a chance to be even more impactful in the defensive system of new coach Mike Macdonald, and Williams’ return should solidify Seattle’s defensive front along with Uchenna Nwosu, Dre’Mont Jones and Jarran Reed.

Bringing back Fant gives Seattle some certainty at a position that suddenly became a need. The Seahawks released Will Dissly to save salary cap space and lost Colby Parkinson in the opening hours of free agency.

Dissly reached agreement with the Los Angeles Chargers and Parkinson agreed to a deal with the Los Angeles Rams.
