Reggie McKenzie has said that he'd like to add another tight end to compete with David Ausberry, Richard Gordon, and Brandon Myers.

Oakland is hoping to get the same type of success that the San Diego Chargers have received from Antonio Gates and the New Orleans Saints are receiving from Jimmy Graham.
