49ers Blog and Q&A

News, notes and reader questions about the San Francisco 49ers

The 49ers announced they are currently meeting with TE Anthony Becht, a 10-year veteran who most recently played for the Cardinals. Becht, 32, stands 6-6 and weighs 270. He's mostly been used as a blocker, although he has 21 touchdown catches over his career. Becht has played for the Rams, Buccaneers and Jets before spending the 2009 season in Arizona. He reportedly also is visiting the Raiders.

The 49ers are seeking a third tight end who can block and who also could step in should something happen to Vernon Davis or Delanie Walker. They also have shown interest in free agent Chris Baker.
