Signs futures deal with 9ers San Francisco signed Martinez to a reserve/future contract Tuesday.

Impact Martinez spent most of the 2025 season on the 49ers' and the Jets' practice squads, taking just one snap with San Francisco in Week 9 against the Giants to execute the game-ending kneel down. It appears the 49ers saw something they liked in Martinez though, so he'll be staying with them to begin the 2026 league year.

Back with Niners' practice squad San Francisco signed Martinez to its practice squad Wednesday, Kyle Madison of USA Today reports.

Impact Just a day after being waived from the Jets' practice squad, Martinez is now back with the 49ers, who also cut him from their practice squad less than two weeks ago. With starter Brock Purdy and backup Mac Jones both healthy, Martinez is likely a couple injuries away from seeing any game action for the rest of the season.

Waived from practice squad The Jets waived Martinez from the practice squad Tuesday, Susanna Weir of the team's official site reports.

Impact Martinez was signed to the practice squad and elevated to the active roster in Week 15 to serve as the No. 2 quarterback behind Brady Cook. The quarterback's waiving signals that at least one of either Tyrod Taylor (groin) or Justin Fields (knee) will be available for Sunday's game against the Saints. Martinez will now be placed on waivers, and if he clears will become a free agent.

Returns to practice squad Martinez reverted to the Jets' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Impact Martinez was elevated to operate as New York's backup quarterback behind Brady Cook in Week 15 while Tyrod Taylor (groin) and Justin Fields (knee) were unavailable. Martinez did not appear in the team's 48-20 loss to Jacksonville, and he can still be elevated two more times this season.

Slated for QB2 role Week 15 Martinez was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Impact Martinez signed with the Jets' practice squad Wednesday to help supplement the team's injury-riddled quarterback room. Both Tyrod Taylor (groin) and Justin Fields (knee) have been ruled out for Sunday's game, leaving undrafted rookie Brady Cook to serve as the Jets' QB1. Martinez was an undrafted free agent in 2023, and he made his NFL debut with the 49ers in Week 9 when he played one offensive snap. He should only see the field versus Jacksonville if Cook also goes down with injury during the game.

Joins Jets' practice squad Martinez signed with the Jets' practice squad Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Martinez was cut by the Jets in August after spending the 2024 season on their practice squad. He had been with the 49ers organization for most of the 2025 campaign prior to getting cut from San Francisco's practice squad Tuesday. If neither Tyrod Taylor (groin) nor Justin Fields (knee) gain clearance to play Sunday against the Jaguars, Martinez would likely be elevated to back up undrafted rookie Brady Cook.

Cut by San Francisco Martinez was cut from the 49ers' practice squad Tuesday.

Impact Martinez has been on and off of the 49ers' practice squad this season, even appearing in one game with the team in Week 9 against the Giants. The quarterback will now be subject to waivers, and if he goes unclaimed, there's a decent chance that he rejoins San Francisco's practice unit down the road this year.

DECEMBER 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Back with San Francisco The 49ers signed Martinez to the practice squad Tuesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Martinez was cut from the 53-man roster over the weekend after Brock Purdy was cleared to return from his toe injury. Martinez will continue to provide organizational depth at quarterback behind Purdy and Mac Jones.

NOVEMBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Cut by San Francisco The 49ers waived Martinez on Saturday.

Impact Martinez's services on the 49ers' active roster are no longer needed as Mac Jones will revert to a backup role for Sunday's game against the Cardinals due to the return of Brock Purdy (toe). Martinez could be brought back by San Francisco on the practice squad, assuming he clears waivers.
