TE Nick Vannett was also hurt last night

Vannett (from the sound of it) was already drawing the wrong kind of attention from CSP… who reportedly said that they “needed to see more out of him.”
Vannett is known as primarily a blocking TE, but maybe he just hasn’t been blocking too well, and has shown to be even less of a receiving threat than they thought.

It doesn’t sound like Trautman is hurt too bad, so that’s good… but the Saints could still try to upgrade over (the now hurt) Vannett.

My hope is that they pick up the phone and call the Dolphins… and see if they would part with Adam Shaheen for a late round draft pick. Shaheen has great size and he has more receiving ability than Vannett.

A couple other TEs that could also be worth checking on IMO would be Ross Dwelley from the 49ers and/or the Patriots’ Devin Asiasi.
