DT · San Francisco 49ers
Cast your verdict:
A low-stakes depth move that barely registers on the roster importance scale. Multiple headlines show Anderson cycling on and off the 49ers' practice squad repeatedly. The clearest signal is San Francisco eventually claiming Jordan Jefferson off waivers, displacing Anderson entirely. Fans see this as typical roster churning, with little emotional investment in a UDFA bubble player. Anderson faces long odds to stick anywhere meaningful in the NFL going forward.
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. Evan's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL DTs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $1.0M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the DT 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. Evan is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract.
