That didn't take long.
After being released by the Denver Broncos on Tuesday, former Ohio State tight end Nick Vannett has agreed to a three-year contract with the New Orleans Saints, per a report by Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.

The Saints will be the fourth NFL organization for Vannett, who spent 2020 with the Broncos after beginning his career with three-and-a-half seasons in Seattle followed by a brief stint with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Vannett caught 14 catches for 95 yards and a touchdown in 2020, starting in 11 games while playing in 15 overall. He immediately moves to one of the NFL's best recent offenses, although the Saints will have someone new under center – likely Jameis Winston –following Drew Brees' retirement.
Vannett joins his former Buckeye teammates Michael Thomas and Marshon Lattimore, as well as fellow former Ohio State player Malcolm Jenkins, in New Orleans.
