Saints signing Nick Vannett
 

The Broncos cut blocking tight end Nick Vannett on Tuesday. He agreed to terms on a three-year deal with the Saints on Wednesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports.

Vannett, 28, appeared in 15 games last season but played only 34 percent of the offensive snaps. He made 14 receptions for 95 yards and a touchdown.

He was due to make $2.68 million with the Broncos in 2021.

The Seahawks made Vannett a third-round choice in 2016. Seattle traded him to the Steelers in 2019, and Vannett finished that season with the club before signing a two-year deal with Denver last April.

Championship...

Vannett has fumbled only once in 5 seasons. Solid blocker with good hands.

Nice compliment to Trautman.

Good size at 6-6 260

Basically he's a Josh Hill replacement.

One of those underrated signings I believe.

Looking forward to seeing him play.

Re: Saints signing Nick Vannett
 

Saw him with the Hawks several times......nice player, not overwhelming, not great, but a good professional. Does his job. I think Hill is a solid comparison.

Re: Saints signing Nick Vannett
 

If he's as good at blocking as Hill then I'm all in. Payton values blockers.

TE room so far:

Ethan Wolf 6'6" 252 1

Garrett Griffen 6'4" 240 2

Adam Trautman 6'5" 253 1

Nick Vanette 6'6" 261 6


Are we set there?

Re: Saints signing Nick Vannett
 

But he looks more like a tight end. Hill built like an H back

If Trautman steps up and puts up some decent numbers on seam routes, then no

It would make a hell of a Basketball team!

Re: Saints signing Nick Vannett
 

So, a blocking full back and a blocking tight end were our major signings in free agency? Championship! :p

Re: Saints signing Nick Vannett
 

Looks awful. We don’t even know if Trautman is ready to run routes regularly and be a factor in the passing game.

Re: Saints signing Nick Vannett
 

Of course "we" don't. We're just fans. But to those who actually are intimately involved ... perhaps they know a tad more.

:D
