Overview

• Isaiah Oliver, released by the San Francisco 49ers after one season, was initially signed for two years at $6.75 million.
• The move frees up $2.4 million in salary cap space for the 49ers, who are in 'win now' mode and looking to optimize their roster.
• Oliver struggled in his role, with a high completion rate allowed and missed tackles, leading to his release.
• The 49ers' defensive strategy must now adapt without Oliver, as the team evaluates potential replacements to maintain a strong defense.
• Despite his release, Oliver's contributions, including 67 tackles and one interception in 17 regular-season games, are acknowledged.
