Nick Vannett News
Friday, July 24, 12:54 PM
The Seattle Seahawks signed tight end Nick Vannett to an undisclosed deal on Friday, according to John Boyle of the team's official website. The Seahawks drafted Vannett in the third round (94th overall) in 2016 from Ohio State. The 33-year-old spent the first three years of his NFL career in Seattle before they traded him to the Pittsburgh Steelers during the 2019 season. Since the trade, he has spent time with the Steelers, Denver Broncos, New Orleans Saints, New York Giants, Los Angeles Chargers, Tennessee Titans, Minnesota Vikings, and Los Angeles Rams. In his 10 years in the NFL, the journeyman tight end has accumulated 108 receptions on 150 targets for 1,012 yards and nine touchdowns in 121 games played (54 starts). His most successful season came in 2018 with Seattle, when he caught 29 passes for 269 yards and three touchdowns in 15 games. If Vannett earns a spot on the 53-man roster for the regular season in 2026, he will most likely serve as a blocking TE and on special teams, making him avoidable in all fantasy leagues.

Grant Calcaterra News
Tuesday, March 10, 6:29 PM
The Philadelphia Eagles are re-signing tight end Grant Calcaterra to a one-year deal, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. Philadelphia entered this offseason with its top three tight ends all slated to hit unrestricted free agency. While Dallas Goedert and Kylen Granson remain unsigned, Philadelphia at least brought back one key player at the position in Calcaterra. They also made an external move, signing ex-Jaguars blocking tight end Johnny Mundt. There's still plenty of offseason remaining for Philadelphia to strengthen the position group, and we can't rule out a Goedert return. As it stands at this very second, though, Calcaterra projects as the Eagles' No. 1 tight end. The 27-year-old might not be ready to make that jump after he caught just nine passes for 76 yards and a touchdown in 2025. On a more positive note, he did have 24 catches, 298 yards, and one touchdown back in 2024. He fits best as a backup tight end who can make an occasional spot start here or there, so we wouldn't be surprised to see the Eagles bring back Goedert or pursue a different No. 1 tight end via free agency, trade, or the NFL Draft.
