SAN FRANCISCO -- Now that he has a stock tied to his football career, San Francisco 49ers tight end Vernon Davis is thinking more like a CEO looking out for his shareholders interests, as well as for himself. Thats among the reasons why Davis wants the 49ers to pay him more money even though he still has two years still left on his current contract. The deal, originally signed in 2010, calls for him to make about $10 million through the National Football Leagues 2015 season. "I feel like its the right time to get an extension," Davis said Wednesday in an interview with The Associated Press. His remarks came shortly before the 49ers announced they had given their star quarterback, Colin Kaepernick, a six-year contract extension through the 2020 season for a reported $110 million. If Davis secures a longer contract too, it will be a boon for investors who bought a stake in his football career through an unusual tracking stock from Fantex Inc. The San Francisco company paid Davis $4 million in return for 10 per cent of his future earnings from football, commercial endorsements and other jobs that he may get during the remainder of his life because of his success in sports. Investors who own any of the 421,000 shares of Fantex tracking stock tied to Davis will also benefit from his success through dividends and potential appreciation in the stocks price. Davis tracking stock climbed $1.20 Wednesday to $11.20, slightly above its initial public offering price of $10. The shares have traded as high as $12.50 since their debut on Fantexs online exchange in late April. The IPO minted Davis, an eight-year veteran of the 49ers, as the first professional athlete to be traded like a stock. "Everyone loves me right now," Davis said. "They just want to talk to me. They want to hug me. ...You get a lot of people who say, Ive got stock in you." Although Fantex completed the IPO of the tracking stock five weeks ago, U.S. securities regulations prohibited Davis from publicly discussing the investment until Wednesday. Not long after he was able to talk about the stock, Davis said he fielded calls from 49er teammates Justin Smith, Vance McDonald and C.J. Spillman inquiring about his arrangement with Fantex. For now, business comes before football for Davis, who is considered to be among the best tight ends in the game. He caught a career-best 13 touchdowns last season. But Davis, 30, already has played nearly three times longer than the average NFL career of three seasons. He said he wants to play "until my toes fall off" and hopes to spend his entire career with the 49ers. The big question now is whether the 49ers will acquiesce to his demands for a longer contract. As part of his negotiating tactics, Davis skipped the 49ers voluntary team workouts this week. His absence cost him a $200,000 bonus. Davis will be aiming to make that money back in his contract extension, although he declined to say how much he is seeking. In an appraisal made leading up to the IPO, Fantex predicted Davis would land at least one more football contract worth $33 million. While Davis negotiates with the 49ers, Fantex is trying to sell tracking stocks tied to the careers of two other NFL players: Buffalo Bills quarterback EJ Manuel and Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Mohamed Sanu.

But well look at the tape and make our evaluations here shortly.Gruden wasnt as hard on Griffin as a week earlier, but the facts speak for themselves. The Redskins (3-8) are 0-3 since Griffin returned from an ankle injury and have scored only one touchdown in each of the last two games. He is 4-14 as a starter since the start of the 2013 season.Following a conservative game plan after a terrible outing the week before, Griffin completed 11 of 19 passes for 106 yards and was sacked five times in Sundays 17-13 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. He has been sacked 16 times in his last three games, more than Kirk Cousins and Colt McCoy were sacked in their six starts combined. Third downs continue to be a problem: The Redskins are 1 for 41 when its third-and-10-or-more this season.We cant attribute it all to Robert, Gruden said. He is the quarterback, though, so well have to look at every avenue and figure out where we can improve.The first-year coach might have to resolve the dilemma of playing to win the next game vs. playing for the future of the franchise. McCoy, who had won two straight games before Griffin returned, might give the Redskins their best chance to beat the Colts, but theres the argument that Griffin needs to keep playing to prove whether he can operate something akin to a conventional NFL passing game.We have a 24-year old kid who has not had a lot of these concepts thrown at him, Gruden said. And youd think we got it all sorted out, but he hasnt seen these concepts against different coverages all the time. Hes still in a growing process, he really is. He wasnt perfect in the game, theres some things he couldve done a lot better, but theres some things our left tackle couldve done better, our centre, our right guard, our wide receivers.dddddddddddd Everybody has a little hand in the mess in the passing game yesterday.That said, Gruden kept opening the possibility that a change at quarterback might be necessary.We have some issues, we just have to hone in on them and ... come up with a plan thats conducive to winning with the quarterback that we feel good about moving forward, Gruden said. To have 100 yards or 80 yards passing is unheard of this day and age with the receivers we have, and we have to figure out something.Its fair to say Griffin received a disproportionate share of the blame for some of the earlier losses because the entire team wasnt playing well. On Sunday, most of it the issues were his.The Redskins had the elements for an upset. The defence forced three turnovers and allowed only 17 points despite running out of cornerbacks. The special teams won the field position game, largely because of an impressive day from punter Tress Way. Alfred Morris ran for 100 yards for the first time this season.That left the focus on Griffin and the passing game.It didnt help that rookie Morgan Moses was making his first NFL start at left tackle — he was directly responsible for two sacks — but it got to the point that speedster DeSean Jackson was returning punts in part because Jackson wasnt seeing the ball much on offence.At least, unlike last week, Griffins postgame remarks left little wiggle room for controversy or misinterpretation. He played it mostly straight, saying he needs to play better and find ways to make those big plays happen, no matter whats going on.But its not 100 per cent certain hell get another chance next week.If we think that somebody else is better suited to help us get a victory against Indianapolis, well make that decision, said Gruden, who then took note of the time. Right now, today, at 3:15, we feel that Roberts that guy.Notes: LB Adam Hayward (right knee fracture) will have surgery and was placed on injured reserve. ... CB Tracy Porte
