Browns agreed to terms with TE Kellen Davis, formerly of the Bears, on a one-year contract.
The Browns have now signed Davis and Gary Barnidge to offset the losses of Ben Watson and Alex Smith. A blocker, Davis caught just 37 passes over the past two seasons. Davis should be in for a bigger role than Barnidge, but the Browns may not be done making moves at tight end. Coach Rob Chudzinski's offense makes heavy use of tight ends. As of now, Jordan Cameron is the favorite to catch passes. Mar 22 - 12:35 PM

Kellen Davis - TE - Browns

Free agent TE Kellen Davis will visit the Browns Thursday.

New coach Rob Chudzinski's hunt for tight ends continues. If Davis does come aboard, it would be a best-case scenario for the fantasy prospects of intriguing ex-basketball player Jordan Cameron. Davis is a blocker at 6'7/267 that showed stones for hands during his doomed 2012 season in Chicago.

Kellen Davis - TE - Browns

The Jets are interested in free agent TE Kellen Davis.

Davis has been drawing a ton of interest since being released by the Bears. He's an intriguing red-zone option at 6-foot-7 and 267 pounds, and he can also block. Pairing Davis with Jeff Cumberland still wouldn't be a cause for excitement.

Kellen Davis - TE - Browns

Free agent TE Kellen Davis is drawing interest from the Steelers, Saints, Bengals, and Browns.

Davis has already visited Pittsburgh and New Orleans. Cincinnati missed out on blocking tight end Matt Spaeth, who signed with the Steelers on Friday night. Cleveland has two tight-end aficionados in coach Rob Chudzinski and OC Norv Turner. Davis' hands proved to be terrible last season, but he can still block.

Kellen Davis - TE - Browns

Free agent TE Kellen Davis will visit the Steelers on Thursday.

Davis was released by the Bears on Wednesday after the team signed Martellus Bennett on Tuesday. Davis is an above-average blocker, but he has stone hands. He caught just 19 passes on 44 targets in 2012. Davis could replace free agent Leonard Pope as Pittsburgh's blocking tight end.

Kellen Davis - TE - Browns

Bears released TE Kellen Davis.

As expected. Davis signed a two-year, $6 million deal with the Bears last March but flopped massively. He dropped eight of the 44 targets that came his way en route to a 19/229/2 line. The Bears will have upgraded in a major way by signing Martellus Bennett. Dumping Davis saves $2.5 million against the cap. The Steelers are rumored to have interest.

Kellen Davis - TE - Browns

The Chicago Tribune believes it's possible the Bears keep one of Kellen Davis and Matt Spaeth, "but not both."

With the tight end market shaping up nicely both in the draft and free agency, it's more likely than not the Bears part ways with both players. Inept as a pass catcher, Davis isn't worth his $2.4 million salary, while releasing Spaeth would clear $1.625 million in cap space. Jay Cutler badly needs a tight end who can do more than block.

Kellen Davis - TE - Browns

Bears TEs coach Andy Bischoff says the team needs a tight end that can "threaten the defense."

"We need a tight end that can create stress in the middle of the field," said Bischoff. "We need a receiver who can catch the ball and we need a receiver who can block enough to be lined up in the backfield." New OC Aaron Kromer had Jimmy Graham for the last three years in New Orleans. The Bears will be exploring all avenues for an upgrade on Kellen Davis.

Kellen Davis - TE - Browns

ESPN Chicago says it would be an "upset" if Kellen Davis returns to the Bears.

Davis is due $2.5 million in total for the final year of his two-year deal, but he proved to be a complete bust in 2012. He has appeared in all 80 games in his five seasons in the league, but Davis has managed to put up just 47 catches for 529 yards and 11 scores over that time. According to Pro Football Focus, Davis dropped eight of his 44 targets last year.

ESPN Chicago suggests TE Kellen Davis is a candidate for release.

Davis simply didn't work in Chicago. He was among the league-leaders in drops, never gained the faith of Jay Cutler and finished with 19 catches for 229 yards and two touchdowns. Owed $2.4 million in 2013, it's hard to see Davis back in Chicago. In Mel Kiper's first mock draft, he had the Bears selecting Notre Dame TE Tyler Eifert with the No. 20 overall pick.

Kellen Davis - TE - Browns

Kellen Davis was held without a catch in Chicago's Week 17 win over the Lions.

He was targeted only once. As the Chicago Tribune suggests, Davis is "never athletic at the point of the catch" despite looking part. Davis finishes the year with just 19 catches for 229 yards and two touchdowns, and among the league leaders in drops. Due $2.4 million in 2013, he's unlikely to be back with the Bears.

Kellen Davis - TE - Browns

The Bears will look to upgrade the tight end position this offseason.

Kellen Davis has just 19 catches for 229 yards and two touchdowns in a miserable season. His 19:6 touchdown-to-drop ratio is the worst in the league. When Jay Cutler was asked if the team planned to get the current tight ends more involved in the passing game, Cutler flat-out said, "No." Davis is under contract for $2.4 million in 2013, which is awfully high for his lack of production.

Kellen Davis - TE - Browns

Bears TE Kellen Davis has been credited with eight drops this season.

Davis' supposed breakout year never happened. He has 17 catches for 210 yards and has been used mostly as a blocker since contracting a case of the dropsies. "It's basically just focus," he said. "You've got to look the ball in. It's simple football. But sometimes it's hard to come back after you have a drop. You've got to let it go, which is not always the easiest thing to do."

Bears TE Kellen Davis caught one pass for 15 yards in Chicago's Week 12 win over Minnesota.

Davis also had a drop over the middle, although his 15-yard reception on an absolute seed from Jay Cutler set up a goal-line touchdown for Michael Bush. Davis was a low-upside early-season TE2. He holds zero fantasy value now.

Kellen Davis - TE - Browns

Bears TE Kellen Davis was limited in Friday's practice with an ankle injury, and is listed as questionable for Week 12.

Davis has just 13 catches for 170 yards on the season, and won't be a fantasy option against the Vikings regardless of whether or not he suits up.
