32 years old is what I see and coming off a less than stellar year.

I personally would rather see us develop younger players who are less expensive & have a higher upside.

Unfortunately not everyone you sign is gonna be 25 and entering their prime, he is a good blocker and as a 2nd string TE for a reasonable 1 or 2 year contract, I will gladly take him.

Jermaine Gresham would be my choice. Vernon Davis...realistically, how much does he have left after 2 terrible seasons?

Yep, Gresham is 4 years younger.

One telling thing about this is that Scott McL had Davis in San Fran.
Gruden had Gresham in Cincy.

I don't remember hearing anything bad about Gresham before, so maybe it's just an expected dollar amount needed to sign a back up.

But I'm with you...I would take Gresham over Davis at this point.

This could all be a moot point if Niles comes back healthy.
