Tay Martin Leads 49ers In Receiving In Preseason Opener
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Tay Martin saw a good chunk of action in the team's 17-13 loss at the Tennessee Titans on Saturday night. Martin finished with a team-leading five receptions on seven targets for 58 yards. The 26-year-old went undrafted out of Oklahoma State in 2022 and has spent the past two years on San Francisco's practice squad. The 49ers' receiving picture is a little fuzzy, with trade rumors swirling around starter Brandon Aiyuk and an injury to rookie Ricky Pearsall. However, Martin is still competing with many other receivers for a roster spot. He'll likely not be fantasy-relevant this season.
49ers Sign Tay Martin, Jake Tonges To Futures Deals
The San Francisco 49ers signed wide receiver Tay Martin and tight end Jake Tonges, in addition to offensive lineman Sebastian Gutierrez, defensive back Kemon Hall, safeties Erik Harris and Tayler Hawkins, defensive linemen Sam Okuayinonu and Spencer Waege and linebacker Curtis Robinson to Reserve/Futures deals on Tuesday. Martin, 26, spent all of 2023 on San Fran's practice squad. He was on the club's active 53-man roster for one game but didn't catch any passes. Martin was active for two games in 2022 but also didn't record any stats. Tonges, 24, was also on the Niners' practice squad in 2023 but was not active for any games at all.
49ers Sign Dazz Newsome, Tay Martin To Futures Deals
The San Francisco 49ers signed wide receivers Dazz Newsome and Tay Martin, defensive lineman Alex Barrett, offensive linemen Alfredo Gutierrez, Keith Ismael, Jason Poe and Leroy Watson, safety Tayler Hawkins, defensive back Qwuantrezz Knight and linebacker Curtis Robinson to Reserve/Futures deals on Tuesday. Newsome, 23, joined the team's practice squad in November after he was taken by the Chicago Bears in the sixth round in 2021. He was not active at all for San Fran in 2022 after playing in three games for the Bears in his rookie season. Martin, 25, was active in Week 8 and Week 17 but played only one offensive snap for the 49ers in 2022.
