Warner visits 49ers HQ

Santa Clara, Calif. — Kurt Warner is being courted by an eager division rival of the Arizona Cardinals.

The San Francisco 49ers sent a private jet Monday for the two-time MVP quarterback, who traveled from Phoenix to the 49ers’ Silicon Valley training complex. He underwent a physical exam and had a meeting with their top brass.

Warner led the Cardinals to the Super Bowl last season, but became a free agent when he didn’t re-sign with the club.

49ers re-sign ex-Jayhawk

Santa Clara, Calif. — The San Francisco 49ers re-signed fullback Moran Norris to a three-year contract Monday, welcoming back the burly run-blocker after releasing him last summer.

Norris, an eight-year NFL veteran and Kansas University product, played for the 49ers from 2006-07. He was the lead blocker for Frank Gore when the running back led the NFC in rushing with 1,695 yards in 2006, earning a trip to the Pro Bowl.

San Francisco dropped Norris after training camp last season because former offensive coordinator Mike Martz’s offense didn’t make much use of a fullback. Norris signed with the Detroit Lions, starting eight games in their 0-16 season.

“I thought (returning to San Francisco) would be a good possibility, but I just didn’t know what route they were going to go,” Norris said Monday after signing the deal at the 49ers’ training complex.

Redskins cut Jason Taylor

Washington — Jason Taylor will have plenty of time to dance on TV this year.

The former NFL defensive player of the year’s disappointing turn in the nation’s capital came to an end Monday when he was cut by the Washington Redskins for refusing to commit to the team’s offseason workout program.

The Redskins wanted to add a workout clause to Taylor’s hefty contract, but the 34-year-old defensive end declined. The clause would have required Taylor to take part in 25 days of offseason workouts.

The flap is reminiscent of last year, when Taylor clashed with the Miami Dolphins for competing in “Dancing With the Stars” rather than working out with the team in the offseason. Taylor finished second to Kristi Yamaguchi on the reality television show.

Titans agree with WR, DT

Nashville, Tenn. — The Tennessee Titans have agreed to terms with receiver Nate Washington and defensive tackle Jovan Haye, both free agents. Washington has played with the Pittsburgh Steelers for four seasons, and Haye spent the last two seasons in Tampa Bay.

Dolphins slice DE Holliday

Miami — Defensive end Vonnie Holliday was released Monday after four seasons with the Miami Dolphins, who have lost three defensive starters this offseason. At 33, Holliday was the Dolphins’ second-oldest player. He started 15 games for the AFC East champions in 2008 and led the team’s defensive linemen with 46 tackles. He was third on the team with 3.5 sacks.

Broncos sign LB Davis

Englewood, Colo. — The Denver Broncos have signed linebacker Andra Davis as they continue to revamp their defense. Davis was signed Monday. He fits in with the Broncos’ plans to convert to a 3-4 defense since he played in a similar scheme with Cleveland.

LB stays with Bengals

Cincinnati — Cincinnati linebacker Darryl Blackstock agreed Monday to stay with the Bengals, who have taken two hits to their offense in the first days of free agency. The Bengals also re-signed defensive lineman Orien Harris, a second-year player who appeared in 14 games last season.

Broncos’ Marshall cleared

Denver — Denver Broncos star receiver Brandon Marshall faces a possible suspension even though a disorderly conduct charge stemming from a fight with his fiance was dismissed in an Atlanta court Monday.

Lions sign WR Johnson

Allen Park, Mich. — The Detroit Lions signed free agent receiver Bryant Johnson to a three-year contract on Monday, adding the former first-round draft pick to complement rising star Calvin Johnson.

Pats sign TE Baker

Foxborough, Mass. — The New England Patriots signed tight end Chris Baker, who played seven seasons with the New York Jets. Baker has 145 career receptions for 1,505 yards and 12 touchdowns.

Cardinals re-sign S Lewis

Tempe, Ariz. — The Arizona Cardinals have signed free agent safety Keith Lewis to a two-year contract. The team also announced Monday it had re-signed punter Ben Graham to a two-year contract and backup quarterback Brian St. Pierre to a one-year deal. Terms weren’t disclosed
