A low-risk practice squad depth add ahead of a critical playoff game. Multiple outlets covered this minor move, highlighting its timing before the Seahawks wild card matchup. Forrest's experience with Washington gives San Francisco a known commodity at safety depth. Fans see this as emergency insurance given the 49ers' ongoing injury concerns at the position.

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. Darrick's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL DBs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $1.2M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the DB 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. Darrick is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract.
