Nick Vannett, a 2016 third-round pick out of Ohio State, has signed with the Seattle Seahawks as a replacement for recently waived Harrison Bryant. The 33-year-old tight end was poached off the Minnesota Vikings practice squad by the Los Angeles Rams before returning to Seattle. During his prior Seahawks tenure, Vannett caught 48 passes for 463 yards and four touchdowns; he was primarily a blocking tight end who backed up Jimmy Graham early in his career and became the top tight end on the roster in 2018 following injuries to Ed Dickson and Will Dissly.

Vannett signed with the Seattle Seahawks on Friday ahead of their first training camp day after appearing in seven games with the Los Angeles Rams in 2025, including one snap in the wild card playoff game against Carolina. The tight end is a long shot to make Seattle's roster but could provide minor insights from his brief Rams tenure. This marks his ninth different team since being traded by Seattle to Pittsburgh in 2019, and he carries 1,012 career receiving yards across 10 seasons with zero catches in 2025.
