The Cameron Sample signing is drawing measured optimism from 49ers fans and media, earning a solid B-grade reception as a sensible depth move. Multiple outlets are framing this as exactly what it appears to be — a smart, low-risk acquisition that gives San Francisco a reliable rotation piece on the defensive line without any major financial commitment. The one-year deal structure and Sample's five years of NFL experience since being drafted in the fourth round back in 2021 checks all the boxes for what you want in a depth signing. This move fits seamlessly into San Francisco's recent pattern of steady roster building, following a string of similar signings including Jack Jones, Patrick Taylor, and Garret Wallow — all moves designed to shore up depth without making major salary cap waves. The fanbase views Sample as a player who can compete for rotational snaps behind the established starters, and at 26 years old with proven NFL experience, there's little downside risk in bringing him aboard for what amounts to an extended tryout.
