The Broncos added tight end depth Saturday by agreeing to terms with Nick Vannett on a two-year contract, according to a source.
Vannett, who turned 27 on March 6, joins a position group that has Noah Fant, Jeff Heuerman, Troy Fumagali, Jake Butt, Bug Howard and Austin Fort on the roster.
Vannett (6-foot-6, 261 pounds) played at Ohio State, where he was a teammate of Heuerman’s for three years, and was a third-round pick in 2016 by Seattle.
In 55 regular season games (22 starts), Vannett has 61 catches for 591 yards and four touchdowns. His best pass-catching season was 2018 (29 catches-269 yards-three touchdowns) in 528 snaps.
