suprised yall dont remember him. hes from SF
The 49ers have yet to make a big splash in free agency -- perhaps you've noticed? -- but they might be creating a slight ripple with the apparent signing of Rams inside linebacker Larry Grant.
Grant's apparent move was signaled this morning through the Twitter account of the former star at City College of San Francisco: "One door closes another opens," Grant wrote "... Another shot back in My city folks. Let's Get it ... San Francisco here I come ..."
A team spokesman did not confirm that Grant had signed with the 49ers.
Grant, 26, a seventh-round draft pick of the Niners in 2008, was cut by San Francisco after spending the early part his rookie season on the practice squad. He's spent the past three seasons in St. Louis, starting eight games and collecting 24 tackles and two sacks in 2010. Grant did not start during his first two seasons with the Rams. After the lockout, St. Louis rescinded the tender they had offered him in March.
With the loss of free-agent Takeo Spikes to the Chargers, Grant, if signed, could push NaVorro Bowman for the starting spot next to Patrick Willis.
