The San Francisco 49ers have signed quarterback Adrian Marintez to their practice squad on Thursday. Martinez was cut by the New York Jets earlier in the week. They decided to only carry two quarterbacks with Justin Field and Tyrod Taylor. Martinez was decent in the preseason, completing 30-of-51 passing attempts for 352 passing yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. The 25-year-old will serve as depth behind Brock Purdy and Mac Jones. There is no reason to stash Martinez at the moment.

The New York Jets waived quarterback Adrian Martinez on Sunday. Martinez, who went undrafted out of Nebraska in 2023, spent last season on the Jets' practice squad and competed for a roster spot this summer. The 25-year-old played in all three of the Jets' preseason games and went 30-for-51 (58.8%) for 352 yards, a touchdown, and two interceptions. Starter Justin Fields and undrafted rookie Brady Cook are now the Jets' only healthy signal-callers. However, No. 2 QB Tyrod Taylor (knee) is on track for Week 1 after recently undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery.

The New York Jets signed quarterback Adrian Martinez and cornerback Kendall Sheffield on Saturday and released cornerback Nehemiah Shelton and quarterback Ben Bryant in corresponding moves. Martinez went undrafted out of Kansas State and was waived by the Detroit Lions back in late August of last year. The 24-year-old has yet to appear in an NFL game and will now look to make some noise as QB depth for the Jets this summer in training camp and the preseason. Martinez will be a long shot to make the active roster out of camp, but there's a chance he could stick around on the practice squad if he impresses. Behind Aaron Rodgers at the position, the Jets now have Martinez, Tyrod Taylor and rookies Jordan Travis and Andrew Peasley.
