The signing offers the 49ers flexibility and freedom in defending the slot, and if Oliver proves to be a wise gamble, the team could potentially nail down a medium-term starter at a critical position.

49ers bolster secondary with signings of Isaiah Oliver and Clelin Ferrell.

The San Francisco 49ers have signed former Atlanta Falcons defensive back Isaiah Oliver to a two-year deal. Oliver's versatility in playing both outside cornerback and nickelback positions makes him a valuable addition to the 49ers secondary, which lost key players during the free agency period. Oliver's coverage stats were the stingiest of his career last season, and he is capable of playing safety as well. The financial details of the contract were not immediately available, but the 49ers opened up enough salary-cap room to fit this deal when they restructured linebacker Fred Warner’s contract.
