49ers decide on a $6.75 million cornerback for the final roster.
Isaiah Oliver has been released by the San Francisco 49ers.Although the San Francisco 49ers are still in shock following a close loss in the Super Bowl, the team is already getting set to bounce back the following year. According to the 49ers’ official website, the team is now making small roster changes, and they have begun by cutting defensive back Isaiah Oliver.Oliver, who was chosen in the second round of the 2018 NFL draft, played his whole career for the Atlanta Falcons until joining the 49ers in the previous season. The 27-year-old played in 17 games during the 2023–24 season, recording 67 tackles (19 solo, 48 assisted), two passes defended, and one interception.
Oliver did not engage in any playmaking. Still, he played in 35 special teams snaps. Before being cut by the 49ers, the cornerback had just completed the first year of a two-year $6,750,000 contract.
Regarding the 49ers, the current offseason presents a favorable image of the starting lineup. There are currently no high-priority players among San Francisco’s free agents, thus the team will have another chance at winning next season with essentially the same major names.Nevertheless, a few minor adjustments here and there won’t harm anything. The 49ers might begin by addressing a persistent problem on the offensive line. Brock Purdy desperately needs more protection, as the line’s total performance this season ranked 26th in pass protection. Further improving the team’s 2024 season would be a deeper rotation of cornerbacks.All things considered, whether or not the 49ers return to the big stage the next season will undoubtedly depend on their free agency choices and other offseason actions.Despite having a fantastic regular season, the San Francisco 49ers lost Super Bowl 58. Nevertheless, Christian McCaffrey was mostly responsible for the group’s accomplishments. After hinting at a wedding, Olivia Culpo, the famous running back, looks like they may be getting married soon.
