The 49ers have a wish to go for upside after signing veteran tight end Jordan Reed.

With the San Francisco 49ers announcing the signing of tight end Jordan Reed, the team has finally got a talented (albeit fragile) player who can command respect at the tight end position alongside All-Pro George Kittle.

Reed had a lot of talent in his career, but injuries have sadly sapped him of what was a promising career. That being said, he would be a worthy reserve who would still command respect from defenses that would be focused on stifling the influence of Kittle.
