The Steelers have interest in former Bears TE Kellen Davis, who is being released after the Martellus Bennett signing

I agree. I'm all for drafting Eifert or a corner if he is already gone. I know OLB is a need as well, but offenses have been 3 stepping us a lot which negates a pass rushing specialist. And why wouldn't they, our DBs are usually ten yds off the LOS. Get a good corner or get the playmaking TE.

Why sign these blocking TEs? He is a dingleberry better than Leonard Pope at best.

[Siggy00]

Because we have to impose our will and play Stiller Football.

Then when it's 3rd and 10 it's "Ben save us!"

I am assuming this funny video was created by a Bears fan, but no fan of Davis...

Can't get that song from the video out of my head. If you watch make sure the volume is up...

Kellen Davis is more athletic than I thought, or at least his numbers showed that he was coming out of college:

For what it is worth, ESPN has him ranked as the 5th best available TE, just after Dustin Keller and just ahead of Martellus Bennett. As a stop gap TE and eventual #2 TE, I think you could do a lot worse than Davis.

Also, since he was cut, he won't factor into the comp pick equation

19 catches on 44 targets. Seems pretty rough.....

Steelers talking to TE Kellen Davis again

By Neal Coolong on Mar 14 2013



The former Bears tight end was linked with the Steelers last season before re-signing with Chicago. He'll reportedly be in Pittsburgh today to discuss a contract.

NFL.com reporter Ian Rapoport is reporting via Twitter the Steelers are hosting tight end Kellen Davis on a prospective free agent trip to Pittsburgh.

The Steelers are in a tenuous position in regards to the tight end position. Heath Miller tore his ACL in the Steelers' Week 17 win over the Browns, and, barring a miracle recovery, can't be expected to be fully healthy come the start of training camp.

Tight end will have to be a priority this off-season with Heath Miller's knee injury.

A move for a tight end, whether in free agency or the draft, wouldn't be a surprise. Nor is it surprising the Steelers are talking to Davis. He was linked to the Steelers last year before re-signing with the Bears.

The new regime in Chicago found two of their tight ends, Davis and former Steeler Matt Spaeth, looking for work.

Davis played nearly every snap for the Bears in 2012, and had 19 catches, but with a shockingly low percentage of passes caught to his 44 targets. He had two touchdowns as well.
