The Seahawks are finalizing a trade of tight end Nick Vannett to the Steelers, according to a report from Adam Schefter of ESPN.
It was not immediately clear what the Seahawks are getting in return.
Vannett, a third-round pick out of Ohio State, is in his fourth season with the Seahawks, and would be an unrestricted free agent at the end of the year.
He has been the team’s backup tight end behind second-year player Will Dissly, a Washington alum who is off to a hot start to the 2019 season with 12 catches for 124 yards.
