New Orleans needs all hands on deck from its pass-catchers this season after Drew Brees retired and Michael Thomas underwent surgery. Trautman, who caught just 15 passes for 171 yards and a touchdown as a rookie last year, is in line for an expanded role in 2021 as he takes over for Jared Cook, who signed with the Chargers.
