A low-profile depth signing that barely registers on the NFL radar. Five headlines confirm this was part of a broader injury-driven linebacker shuffle entering the playoffs. The key signal is context: the 49ers were scrambling for linebacker depth, not targeting Eifler specifically. Fans are focused on bigger names like Kendricks and White, not this roster filler. Eifler is a long-shot to contribute meaningfully beyond emergency depth this postseason.

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. Milo's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL LBs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $1.1M 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. Milo is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract.
