A low-risk practice squad depth add with playoff timing giving it slightly more urgency. Multiple headlines confirm the signing is tied directly to San Francisco's Wild Card matchup against Philadelphia. The key signal is White landing on the practice squad, not the active roster, limiting his immediate impact. Fans are cautiously optimistic given Shanahan's comment that White could see action versus the Eagles. Expect a situational role at best, with Kendricks' promotion being the more meaningful linebacker move.

This signing grades out as a slight overpay for the San Francisco 49ers — the team is getting approximately what they're paying for in on-field production. Kyzir's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL LBs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $1.9M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the LB market. The production lines up closely with the price tag — unproven production at bargain money, which is essentially paying fair market value. Kyzir is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract. The 4-year, $7.8M contract with $5.3M guaranteed (68%) represents a significant commitment with heavy guarantees.
