NFL Notes: Vernon Davis, Browns, Redskins, & Steelers

Vernon Davis

49ers TE Vernon Davis said that he would be disappointed if he wound up being traded in the coming weeks.

“I’ve been a Niner for 10 years,” Davis said, via Matt Maiocco of CSN Bay Area. “This is all I know. It’s really not about me being upset. I understand the nature of the business. It’s a business — it is. If anyone was somewhere for 10 years, they’d be highly upset, highly disappointed.”

Davis’ said the recent reports regard him possibly being on the trade block are like just rumors.

“He told me not to worry about it,” Davis said. “It’s probably just rumors.”

Even so, Davis admitted that he recognizes this is a business and he has to be prepared for anything.

“But you have to understand, after all of this, it’s a business,” Davis said. “I have no intention of going anywhere. But sometimes things happen and you just have to be prepared for it. I think anyone would be upset.”
