Texans sign former Giants TE Nick Vannett

Former New York Giants tight end Nick Vannett has signed with the Houston Texans.

Former New York Giants tight end Nick Vannett has landed with a new team after the veteran inked a deal with the Houston Texans.

The Texans announced the signing on Wednesday, along with the release of veteran defensive lineman, Demone Harris, who reportedly plans to retire, according to Aaron Wilson of Click2Houston.com.

A former third-round pick of the Seattle Seahawks in 2016, Vannett latched on with the Giants’ practice squad in November of last year while Daniel Bellinger was sidelined with an eye injury.

Vannett, who was eventually promoted to the active roster, played in six games (three starts) for Big Blue in 2022, catching four passes on seven targets for 42 yards.

He also played nine offensive snaps and 25 special teams snaps over two postseason contests, but did not record a stat.

Prior to his stint with the Giants, Vannett also appeared in games with the Seahawks, Pittsburgh Steelers, Denver Broncos and New Orleans Saints.
