The San Francisco 49ers haven’t exactly been active on the free-agent market this offseason aside from signing backup quarterback Thad Lewis and re-signing nose tackle Ian Williams and veteran kicker Phil Dawson.
Yet one player with whom the Niners may have mutual interest is former St. Louis Rams linebacker, now free agent, James Laurinaitis.
Laurinaitis was released earlier this offseason in a move by the Rams to clear cap space ahead of their move to Los Angeles. The seven-year NFL pro has spent his entire career with St. Louis since being drafted in Round 2 of the 2009 NFL draft.
