Nick Vannett, the tight end who was just with the Los Angeles Rams last season, officially rejoined our Seattle Seahawks on Friday, just hours before the team kicks off its first day of training camp. His stint with the Rams wasn’t exactly noteworthy, and honestly, most of his stops haven’t been earth-shattering, but he’s back in the Emerald City and staying in the NFC West.
He Started Here, But He’s Been Everywhere
The Seahawks originally drafted Vannett in 2016, so this isn’t his first rodeo here. But since we traded him to Pittsburgh in 2019, he’s been on a tour of the NFL. This signing marks his ninth different team, can you believe it? Here’s the whirlwind tour:
- 2019: Seahawks and Steelers
- 2020: Broncos
- 2021: Saints
- 2022: Saints and Giants
- 2023: Chargers
- 2024: Titans
- 2025: Vikings and Rams
- 2026: Seahawks
The former Ohio State tight end has put up 1,012 career yards across 10 seasons. That’s a lot of ground covered, in more ways than one.
Rams Intel and a Roster Long Shot
Last season, Vannett appeared in seven games with the Rams, even getting a snap against the Carolina Panthers in the wild card round. The thing is, he had zero catches with them in 2025. Yeah, zero. So, he’s likely to stay right at 1,012 career yards for a bit. He’s a long shot to make the Seahawks’ roster, no doubt, but hey, he could provide some minor insights into his very recent time with a division rival. Every little bit helps, right?
So, Vannett gets one more shot. On the eve of training camp, with everything to prove, he’s here. We’ll be watching to see if his experience and those “minor insights” can help him carve out a spot with the Seahawks. Let’s see what he’s got.
