49ers sign Carr; trade Hill to Lions

Football Betting Lines

03/15/2010 - Santa Clara, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The San Francisco 49ers have signed quarterback David Carr and have agreed to trade Shaun Hill to the Detroit Lions.

Hill spent the past four seasons with San Francisco and will head to Detroit, pending a physical, in exchange for an undisclosed pick in the 2011 NFL Draft.

Carr, meanwhile, spent the past two seasons as Eli Manning's backup with the New York Giants. He also played a year in Carolina after spending his first five seasons as the starting quarterback for the Houston Texans.

A native of Bakersfield, California, who starred collegiately at Fresno State, Carr was the first overall pick of the 2002 draft and immediately became the starter for the expansion Texans.

The 30-year-old veteran started 75 of his 76 games in five seasons with Houston, then started four of his six games with Carolina in 2007. He appeared in just nine games over two seasons with the Giants, and completed 30-of-45 passes for 340 yards with three touchdowns in very limited action.

"We are very happy to add David to our roster," said 49ers general manager Scot McCloughan. "We added a player at a position of need and of huge importance to us. David provides depth at the quarterback position and helps make us stronger. He's a great young man."

In 91 NFL games, including 79 starts, Carr has connected on 59.8 percent of his passes for 14,366 with 65 touchdowns and 70 interceptions.

Hill spent his first four NFL seasons with Minnesota, then joined the 49ers as a free agent in 2006. After serving as the third quarterback his first season in San Francisco, Hill started 16 games and made two other appearances over the following three seasons. He threw for 3,490 yards with 23 touchdowns and 11 interceptions with the 49ers.

"Shaun is the ultimate competitor," said 49ers head coach Mike Singletary. "He gave everything he had to his teammates, coaches and fans. I admire how Shaun took advantage of his opportunities and got the most out of his abilities. I wish him nothing but the best as he starts a new chapter in Detroit."

In Detroit, he'll back up second-year man Matthew Stafford.
