Broncos acquire TE Vernon Davis from 49ers

Published November 02, 2015

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) The Denver Broncos have acquired tight end Vernon Davis from the San Francisco 49ers for three late-round draft picks.

''We've agreed to trade for two-time Pro Bowl TE Vernon Davis from SF,'' Broncos GM John Elway tweeted. ''He'll be a valuable addition to our team w/his experience & leadership.''

The 49ers will get sixth- and seventh-round picks next year and a sixth-round pick in 2017.

The Broncos (7-0) are coming off their biggest win of the year, a 29-10 dismantling of previously unbeaten Green Bay in which tight ends Owen Daniels and Virgil Green combined for a season-best 105 yards receiving.

Before that, they'd managed just 123 yards as they had to mostly stay in and help a battered O-line protect Peyton Manning.
