David Carr to visit San Francisco

Mar 5, 2010 at 9:05 AM--


The Star-Ledger reports that the San Francisco 49ers are scheduled to meet with unrestricted free-agent quarterback David Carr (Giants) this weekend.

Carr played in six games last season completing 21 of 33 passes for 225 yards and a touchdown.

Carr has been in the league for eight seasons and was a college standout with Fresno State. He has not started a game since 2007 with Carolina.

If signed, Carr would likely be in camp for depth and competition. The 49ers have already stated that Alex Smith is their man for 2010 and the team also has Shaun Hill and last year's fifth-round selection, Nate Davis. While Smith and Davis are likely safe, one has to wonder what this move means for Hill, who was the starter going into week one in 2009.

On Tuesday, NFL insider Ian Rapport, one of the NFL's most plugged-in reporters, made headlines declaring that, given the situation with the San Francisco 49ers, Sam Darnold would be the team's most likely Week 1 starting quarterback. "We do not know what Trey Lance is going to be if he continues the trajectory that he's been on," Ian Rapoport said on NFL Network. "And I think, certainly, it seems Sam Darnold will more likely than not be the starter going into the season, but there is an opportunity for someone to step in there and start [the] first couple of games of the regular season for the 49ers." Lance, the No. 3 overall draft pick in 2021, and Darnold, added

49ers considered trading Mike McGlinchey last year

Mike McGlinchey received a life-changing payday, signing a five-year, $87.5 million deal with the Denver Broncos. The offensive tackle has known for a while that he would not return to the San Francisco 49ers, the only NFL team he has played for and the one that made him the No. 9 overall pick in 2018. General manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan made it clear to McGlinchey that he was likely playing his final months for the team. There was too much money invested in other spots, and the 49ers knew they couldn't compete with other interested teams. Behind the scenes, Lynch and Shanahan kept McGlinchey in the loop of what the team was thinking, and everything pointed to the tackle playing elsewhere in 2023 … maybe even

Brock Purdy can begin throwing again sometime in June. The San Francisco 49ers quarterback is expected to be ready to hit the field—practice or in-game—sometime in September. Purdy is recovering from surgery to repair the tear of the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in his right elbow, an injury sustained in the NFC Championship Game against the Philadelphia Eagles. He hasn't been seen since the surgery, with his last public appearance taking place In Arizona, during the week leading to the Super Bowl. One fan spotted Purdy, though, getting a photo with the 49ers quarterback (h/t TheSFNiners). As expected, Purdy is wearing a massive brace on his throwing arm,
