The 49ers could sign him, but they can't 'claim' him. It's not like the waiver wire. They have to offer him a contract, and then Maher can accept or reject that offer. Also note that the Rams can also offer him a contract (and a spot on the 53 man roster). Maybe there's a gentlemen's agreement between the Rams and Maher to cover this?)
