The Saints waived Vander Laan on Friday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Analysis: After opting out of the 2020 season, Vander Laan will compete to earn a depth tight end role somewhere else in 2021. The 28-year-old has suited up in six NFL games throughout his time in the league but is yet to log his first career target.

Daniels recorded eight catches (on 11 targets) for 92 yards and one touchdown in 12 games during the 2020 campaign.
Analysis: Daniels endured a number of injuries this season and ultimately sat out Weeks 11-14 due to an ankle issue. While he finished with the second-most offensive snaps (365 of 1,131) behind Dan Arnold (470) and ahead of Maxx Williams (326) among Cardinals tight ends, Daniels put up a similar line to the latter's 8-102-1 in three additional appearances and on one more target. Heading into the offseason, only Williams is under contract, with the future of unrestricted free agents Arnold and Daniels up in the air.

Colts owner/CEO Jim Irsay said he wants to keep Hilton in Indianapolis, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: While he averaged just 50.1 and 50.8 receiving yards per game the past two seasons, Hilton did have a surge of production late in the 2020 campaign, putting up 27/435/5 over the final six weeks. Now scheduled for unrestricted free agency, the 31-year-old wideout has already expressed a desire to re-sign with the Colts, but that doesn't necessarily mean he'll take a hometown discount. There should be at least a handful of teams that view Hilton as a potential upgrade for their second or third WR spot.

Eason, who did not suit up for the Colts as a rookie in 2020, could see more opportunities in 2021 following Philip Rivers' decision to retire.
Analysis: Eason didn't see any work in Indianapolis as a rookie, as Jacoby Brissett worked as the second-string option behind a healthy Rivers all season. Brissett is additionally scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent, so at least for the meantime, Eason appears to have a realistic path to snaps in his sophomore season. Of course, it should be expected that the Colts' quarterback room will see additions this offseason, whether through the 2021 NFL Draft or free agency.

The Colts activated Wilkins (undisclosed) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, per the NFL's official transactions report.
Analysis: Wilkins missed Indianapolis' final two games of 2020 after being placed on the COVID-19 list, but he's now eligible to return to all team facilities. Through 15 regular-season games in 2020, Wilkins logged 84 carries for 308 yards and a touchdown while also securing 12 of 16 targets for 105 yards.
