    Linebacker Tully Banta-Cain and the 49ers are very close on a contract agreement. Banta-Cain, a former standout at Cal, visited with the 49ers on Monday. An announcement could come later in the day.
    "We're working it out," said Jim Sims, Banta-Cain's Oakland-based agent.
    Banta-Cain has played in the 3-4 defense with the Patriots his first four seasons in the league, starting five games last season. He recorded 5.5 sacks with 10 quarterback hurries and 40 tackles last season.
    Banta-Cain has played on two Super Bowl winners. As a rookie, he saw action on special teams units in the Patriots' 32-29 victory over the Panthers in Super Bowl XXXVIII. And the following year he played defense in pass-rush situations and special teams in a 24-21 win over the Eagles in Super Bowl XXXIX.
    The Rams offered Banta-Cain a contract during a visit to St. Louis on the first day of free agency. He was scheduled to travel to visit with the Steelers later today.

    49ers add Pats linebacker Banta-CainESPN.com news services


    San Francisco 49ers: The 49ers added their fourth potential starter to their defense by reaching an agreement Tuesday with Patriots linebacker Tully Banta-Cain.

    Terms of the deal weren't immediately available.

    Banta-Cain was being looked at by 4-3 teams as a defensive end and 3-4 teams as a linebacker. He was replaced by Adalius Thomas in New England.

    Banta-Cain, who has good speed, was a seventh-round pick from California and gets a chance to return to the Bay Area.

    Would that also apply to starting a thread about the 9ers being interested in trading for Darrell Jackson from the SeaChickens?

    Who started that thread? No but it would apply about a thread where a kicker goes to the Dolphins

    Too bad, I was hoping the Rams would sign this guy.

    Congrats to the 9ers, solid offseason so far.
