The Facts: LB Takeo Spikes re-signed on Wednesday with the 49ers, who also signed veteran quarterback Huard shortly after being spurned by Kurt Warner.

Diehards Line:Huard is a 12-year pro best known for his lengthy backup stints behind Miami’s Dan Marino and New England’s Tom Brady. He started 13 games over the past two seasons with Kansas City, but never firmly claimed the Chiefs’ starting job during five seasons with the club. Kansas City released Huard last month. The 35-year-old’s signing guarantees the 49ers will have at least two QBs in uniform when they begin their first full team workouts in two weeks (Shaun Hill is the other). The 49ers are negotiating Alex Smith, who must restructure his contract to reduce his $9 million base salary for next season before the club will allow him on the practice field.
