SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) -Free agent quarterback David Carr is in the Bay Area to visit with the San Francisco 49ers.
The 49ers said Carr would meet with the club Friday night and Saturday.
While coach Mike Singletary has said Alex Smith is his starter going forward, Singletary didn’t rule out signing a quarterback who could push Smith and challenge for playing time. If the 30-year-old Carr joins the team, that likely would signal the end of backup Shaun Hill’s tenure. Hill is headed into the final year of his contract.
Smith took over for Hill on Oct. 25 at Houston. The 49ers also drafted QB Nate Davis last year.
