49ers release Adrian Martinez; loses QB3 competition to Kurtis Rourke.

The 49ers are releasing Adrian Martinez, the 26-year-old quarterback who had been competing for the No. 3 role after serving as the No. 2 quarterback to Mac Jones when Brock Purdy was injured in 2025. Martinez threw for 346 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions across all three preseason games, but was deemed a long shot to make the 53-man roster following a solid offseason and strong preseason performance from seventh-round pick Kurtis Rourke. Martinez could return to the practice squad after roster cutdowns if no other opportunities arise.
