A classic future-deal depth signing with minimal immediate impact for San Francisco. Headlines confirm this is a future contract, not an active roster addition. The key signal is the 49ers simultaneously adding DE depth while releasing a linebacker — telling roster priorities. Fans barely noticed, with discussion centered on the DE move instead. Farmer faces a steep climb just to make the 53-man roster next camp.

This signing grades out as a significant overpay for the San Francisco 49ers — the team is paying more than the on-field production currently warrants. Andrew's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL LBs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $1.0M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the LB 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. Andrew is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract.
