Eric D. Williams of the Tacoma News Tribune said in an interview with ESPN 710 Seattle that he believes the Seahawks could be interested in LB Larry Grant this offseason.
The Seahawks lack quality depth behind starters David Hawthorne, Leroy Hill and K.J. Wright, and both Hill and Hawthorne are set to become unrestricted free agents. Grant, 26, was a seventh-round pick by the 49ers in 2008 but spent his first three seasons as a backup with the Rams. He rejoined San Francisco this season on a one-year deal.

49ers agreed to terms with LB Larry Grant, formerly of the Rams.
A seventh-round pick of the 49ers in 2008, Grant ended up in St. Louis where he struggled in both pass and run defense the past three seasons. A natural 3-4 inside linebacker, he should be used almost exclusively on special teams if he cracks the 49ers' 53-man roster.

The Rams have rescinded their exclusive rights free agent tender to LB Larry Grant.
The Rams wanted to let Grant "hook on with another team" early in the process, per coach Steve Spagnuolo. An eight-game starter on the weak side last year, Grant struggled in both run and pass defense. He's best suited for a special teams role, and failing with a grand opportunity in a poor St. Louis linebacker corps doesn't bode well for his future on defense.
