San Francisco 49ers sign LB Milo Eifler

The 49ers signed Milo Eifler to a Reserve/Future contract, a depth move addressing linebacker concerns heading into the playoffs rather than an immediate roster upgrade. Eifler is a practice squad-level contributor who provides organizational familiarity and potential depth, but the headlines reveal San Francisco's desperation to patch linebacker injuries (Eric Kendricks promotion, Kyzir White practice squad signing). This is a low-impact transaction typical of playoff roster shuffling—more about contingency planning than adding meaningful playoff performance.

The Contract Value Index rates this as a solid deal with a CVI ratio of 1.94. Milo projects at average production (60/100) for the LB position. The salary is well below the LB market rate (30/100), contributing to the value profile. At 95/100 on the age-prime scale, Milo is in or near his prime years.
