The Baltimore Ravens active NFL trade deadline involved more than just acquiring Atlanta Falcons' starting center Ryan Neuzil. The team also made a couple of roster moves, including parting ways with one of their veteran tight ends.
The Ravens announced on Tuesday that it released tight end Nick Vannett amidst several other moves.

Vannett, 33, first joined the Ravens in September after he was released by the Seattle Seahawks as part of their final roster cuts. On Oct. 7, he was even signed to the team's active roster.
However, Vannett failed to record a statistic in Baltimore, and now his time in the Charm City seems to be over, barring a return to the team's practice squad.
Vannett has become quite the journeyman as of late. He began his NFL career as a third-round pick in the 2016 NFL Draft out of Ohio State, where he had 91 catches for 877 yards and six touchdowns over five seasons.
He spent the first three years of his career with the Seahawks before being dealt to the Pittsburgh Steelers for a 2020 fifth-round pick in 2019. He only finished the year with 17 catches for 166 yards, though.
Following Vannett's one-year stint in Pittsburgh, he joined the Denver Broncos for the 2020 season, but he continued to disappoint in Denver, recording just 14 catches for 95 yards and one touchdown in 15 games.

Vannett then signed a three-year contract with the Saints in 2021 but never saw the end of the deal as he was released half way through the 2022 season. That is when he joined the New York Giants practice squad, where he would spend the remainder of the year.
He then spent the 2023 season with the Houston Texans and Los Angeles Chargers, catching just one pass for three yards in eight games.
However, Vannett bounced back with the Tennessee Titans in 2024, recording 17 catches for 135 yards and three touchdowns, tying his career-best mark.
Vannett signed with the Vikings ahead of the 2025 season but failed to record a statistic and was eventually signed off Minnesota’s pratice squad by the Los Angeles Rams, where he finished the season.
A native of Westerville, Ohio, Vannett has recorded 108 receptions for 1,012 yards and nine touchdowns in his professional career.
