On Wednesday, I wrote about slot corner becoming an increasingly pressing need for the 49ers following some of their departures in free agency, and it didn’t take long for San Francisco to go out and address it with a signing that should help them fill that void.
The Niners signed Isaiah Oliver to a two-year contract. While terms of the deal have yet to be disclosed, it is a low-risk movie with potentially huge rewards for the San Francisco secondary.
A second-round pick of the Falcons in 2018, Oliver has started just eight games over the last two seasons, having suffered a torn ACL in Week 4 of the 2021 campaign.
