49ers make final roster decision on $6.75 million cornerback.

The San Francisco 49ers are now grieving after a hard fought Super Bowl loss, but the organization is already preparing to return next season. At the present, the team is making modest modifications to its roster, and they’ve started by dismissing defensive back Isaiah Oliver, citing the 49ers’ official website.

Selected in the second round of the 2018 NFL draft, Oliver spent his whole career with the Atlanta Falcons before signing with the 49ers last year. Throughout the 2023-24 season, the 27-year-old saw play in 17 games, where amassed a total of 67 tackles (48 solo and 19 assisted), two passes defended and one interception.

However, during the postseason, Isaiah Oliver didn’t play a single down. He did, however, take part in 35 special teams snaps. The cornerback just finished the first season of a two-year $6,750,000 deal with the 49ers before getting cut.

As for the 49ers, the current offseason casts a positive light on the team’s core lineup. Presently, San Francisco’s free agents do not consist of any high-priority players, indicating that the team will get another go at next season with pretty much the same major names.

Still, it won’t hurt to make a bit of adjustments here and there. One reoccurring issue that the 49ers could start with is the offensive line. More protection is definitely required for Brock Purdy as the line’s overall play ranked 26th in pass protection this past season. In addition, having a deeper cornerback rotation would also boost the team’s 2024 campaign further.
