Oliver recorded seven tackles (four solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 25-22 loss at New England. He had been rotating in and out of action up until Sunday's contest, but with Tony Adams (hamstring) sidelined, Oliver was on the field for nearly every one of the Jets' defensive snaps in Week 8. He could be in line for a similar role in Week 9 versus the Texans if Adams still can't go.

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.

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.

The 49ers agreed to terms with Oliver on a two-year deal Wednesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports. Oliver will head to San Francisco after seeing prominent playing time over the past four seasons with Atlanta. The 26-year-old cornerback missed the first five games of the 2022 campaign while recovering from a torn ACL suffered Week 4 of 2021. Oliver was still productive over the final 12 regular-season games last year, recording 37 tackles and seven passes defended, including just the second interception of his career. The 6-foot Oliver now figures to compete with Samuel Womack for reps out of the slot with the 49ers.

Oliver recorded nine tackles (five solo), two pass defenses and one sack during Sunday's 20-19 win over Arizona. Oliver posted a season-high nine tackles and recorded his first sack of the 2022 campaign when he took down David Blough for a seven-yard loss on the second play of the game. The 2018 second-round pick will look to build off his best performance of the year during Atlanta's regular-season finale against Tampa Bay on Sunday.
