The #Saints are signing TE Nick Vannett to a three-year deal, source says. Released by the #Broncos the other day, Vannett finds a new home quickly.

Depth. I’m sure it’s a minimum deal. He has 1 TD in two years.

He will make us forget Cook

Actually he will remind us since he obviously doesn't catch.

I like it...depth is no longer a major issue at TE...but the writing is on the wall, it’s Trautman’s time to shine.

Jameis may have to fill in some receptions at the flex position for us

We were getting a vet blocker. Gives us two things we needed at the position. A veteran TE and a dependable blocker.
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

Sean loves his Ohio State guys. Solid pickup, he will play the blocking TE role well.

Another Ohio State player added to the team.

Shockingly he’s an Ohio State product.
The Saints were licking their chops after the Broncos cut him loose. He’s the exact type of complimentary tight end that they look for. Great blocker on the line, downfield and even in the backfield. Excellent hands as well.

Obviously, the replacement for Josh Hill, who had 116 receptions in 117 games played with the Saints. Vannett has 75 receptions in 70 games played in his career. Vannett is three years younger than Hill and a little bigger. Also, another Ohio State alum and teammate of Marshon Lattimore. Vannett was the 94th (3rd round) overall pick in the 2016 draft.
Josh Hill certainly carved out a nice career with the Saints for an undrafted free agent from Idaho State.

Vannett is a low key beast
Per his combine #s
87%tile height for a TE
88%tile arm length
76%tile 3 cone time
82%tile 20 yard shuttle
89%tile 60 yard shuttle
Looks like he could’ve been an OT if he had 60 more lbs on his frame

This is a low key very good signing.

Yep. The Saints seem to have a lot of faith in Trautman, and I do too. Think he'll be a stud.
