49ers decide on a $6.75 million cornerback for the final roster.
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.
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.
