Free agent tight end Kellen Davis was considered a bust after the Chicago Bears released him.
Yet, while the Bears did not want him anymore, there are five teams that are reportedly interested in Davis. The Pittsburgh Steelers, New Orleans Saints, Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, and New York Jets are interested in the 27-year-old.
Davis has reportedly visited Pittsburgh and New Orleans. It is not clear if he has any interest in visiting the Jets.
But Davis would give the Jets an intriguing red zone option. He could also block for the Jets in the red zone, should he sign with them.
He would replace tight end Dustin Keller, who left the Jets in free agency. Keller signed a one-year deal with the Miami Dolphins, where he wanted to end up with.
Davis spent the past five years with the Bears, starting from the 2008 through the 2012 season. He has played in every game since the 2008 season.
This season, he had 19 receptions for 229 yards and two touchdowns. The 229 yards are the most he's had in a season.
Compared to Davis, Keller only had 9 more receptions and 88 more yards. Each had two touchdowns in 2012.
Keller had 28 receptions for 317 yards. Both were career-lows for the 2008 first draft pick with the Jets.
