A low-risk practice squad depth move that adds a familiar arm to San Francisco's QB room. Multiple headlines confirm Martinez is a returning practice squad presence, not a new roster addition. The strongest signal is Shanahan's cautious optimism, suggesting Martinez offers minimal but real developmental value. Fans largely view this as a quiet housekeeping move with no impact on the starting competition. Martinez figures to remain a practice squad arm unless injuries force an unexpected promotion.

This signing grades out as a bad deal for the San Francisco 49ers — the team is paying more than the on-field production currently warrants. Adrian's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL QBs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $1.0M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the QB market. The concern here is the gap between production and cost — unproven output at bargain money means the team is paying a premium above the player's on-field value. Adrian is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract.
