    Vannett is a journeyman TE who has started games for 6 teams in 9 NFL seasons. When PIT traded for him in 2019, Mason Rudolph praised the addition “Could tell he was a bright dude. I didn’t know how bright he was but he was able to get here in a week and pretty much absorb the game plan in a matter of days, and that was really impressive to me. He’s a professional, great dude.”
    Nicknamed “Baby Gronk”, Vannett is more of a pass blocking TE than a pass catcher. This looks like a veteran addition meant to add experience to a young TE room.

    In other words, 3 downs a month. I ain’t excited about a TE that don’t catch…. And reportedly doesn’t excell at run blocking either. :trophy:

    What the heck is the point of a pass blocking tight end? I'm surprised that term has even been coined.

    I like my QB to be more of the kneeling type than a thrower.

    Seems an overdramatic signing since just using an OL would make more sense but, last year as an example, a pass blocking TE could have helped.

    Idk given the Lathem is a rookie who's switching sides and our RT is one of three unproven young guys, I don't mind having a pass blocking specialist at TE.

    Throw a 6th OL in if you need to go run heavy.

    Part of one of the deepest running back stables we ever had. Highsmith, Pickett, rozier, white.

    I would imagine that wouldn’t start until he retired. I also heard coaching was offered but he was not interested at all
    My guess is one look at the qb protection the Titans had the year before and he couldn’t get away from here fast enough
