The 49ers’ free agent signing of Isaac Yiadom last offseason did not work out. The veteran cornerback was consistently picked on in coverage and rightfully fell behind Renardo Green in the pecking order as the second-round pick enjoyed an impressive rookie season.
But Yiadom could still have an important, if indirect, role to play in the 49ers’ future
Yiadom was not re-signed by the 49ers following the expiry of his one-year deal, and he returned to the New Orleans Saints on a three-year, $9 million deal, one which could put the 49ers in a stronger position in the 2026 NFL Draft.
