Jets' Isaiah Oliver: Gets new position
Oliver will play safety in 2024, according to defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Oliver has spent the bulk of his first six NFL seasons at cornerback, but with his move to the Jets in free agency, a new position awaits the 27-year-old.

Jets' Isaiah Oliver: Headed to Big Apple
Oliver signed a one-year contract with the Jets on Sunday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Oliver was a mainstay in Atlanta's secondary over the first five seasons of his career. He then signed with the 49ers as a free agent in March 2023, going on to tally 67 tackles and one interception while appearing in all 17 regular-season games, including six starts. Oliver was then released by San Francisco on Feb. 23, allowing him to sign with a new team before the start of the new league year Wednesday.

49ers' Isaiah Oliver: Let go by San Francisco
The 49ers released Oliver on Friday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Oliver just had a fairly successful season as a rotational cornerback in his first year with San Francisco, but it seems as if the team has now decided to part ways with the 27-year-old. He was able to post 67 total tackles, two pass deflections and one interception while appearing in all 20 of the 49ers' contests (including playoffs). This move creates $2.4 million in cap space but also leads to an approximate $1.5 million dead cap charge, per Nicholas McGee of AtoZ Sports Nashville.

49ers' Isaiah Oliver: Successful season as nickel CB
Oliver appeared in 17 regular-season games with San Francisco in 2023, finishing with 67 tackles (48 solo), two passes defended and one interception.
Oliver signed with the 49ers this past offseason to help fill the void left by nickel specialist K'Waun Williams' departure in 2022. It would be unfair to hold the former to the latter's standards, but Oliver certainly held his own while playing in every game for San Francisco. The six-year pro will resume covering opposing slot receivers for the 49ers in 2024.

49ers' Isaiah Oliver: Sets career high in tackles Sunday
Oliver had 10 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 31-17 loss to the 49ers.
His 10 tackles Sunday was the first time in Oliver's career that he has recorded double-digit tackles in a game since entering the league in 2018. He's established himself as the slot corner behind starters Deommodore Lenoir and Charvarius Ward, while Oliver has played at least 40 defensive snaps in each of the last three games.

49ers' Isaiah Oliver: Expected to play nickelback in 2023
49ers defensive coordinator Steven Wilks said Friday that Oliver is expected to play nickelback in 2023, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
The 2018 second-round pick signed a two-year deal to join San Francisco this offseason after five seasons in Atlanta. Oliver was a solid contributor when healthy, but a torn ACL cost him parts of the 2021 and 2022 campaigns. Wilks added that he expects to use the defensive back occasionally as a blitzer out of the slot. Oliver has just two career sacks, but he's back to full strength and could reach new heights with an aggressive role in the 49ers' talented defense.
