The last time we looked at the San Francisco 49ers roster bubble for the tight end position, there was plenty of talk that Vance McDonald could be traded. I still think it’s possible that McDonald gets traded, but barring that, he seems to be impressing the new regime and I have to figure he is going to be on the roster in 2017.
Previously, Fooch listed George Kittle as the sole lock, Logan Paulsen, Vance McDonald and Garrett Celek as strong bubble, Cole Hikutini and Blake Bell as weak bubble and no longshots.
