The 49ers continue to be interested in tight end Chris Baker, a blocking specialist who most recently played for the Patriots, according to a league source. Baker has visits with the Seahawks and Bengals. A visit with the 49ers has not been set up yet, the source said, but the two sides are trying to work out the logistics. Baker finished with 14 receptions for 142 yards and two touchdowns in 2009. The team's interest in Baker was first reported here yesterday. The 49ers also had shown interest in tight end Ben Hartsock, but he has decided to re-sign with the Jets.
The 49ers had only two tight ends, Vernon Davis and Delanie Walker, on their roster last year and are hoping to add a blocking specialist this offseason. JJ Finley was on the practice squad last year, and the team added Tony Curtis in the offseason.
