The New York Jets continue to make under-the-radar moves ahead of free agency.
Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network shared on social media that Gang Green is signing former San Francisco 49ers cornerback Isaiah Oliver to a one-year deal.
Hall, 26, is scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent for the first time in his NFL career. He is unlikely to return to the team in 2024.
Jets Earn Praise on Social Media for Oliver Signing
Oliver, 27, has been in the NFL for six seasons. He entered the league as the No. 58 overall pick in the second round of the 2018 NFL draft.
During that period, Oliver has registered three interceptions, 36 pass deflections, three forced fumbles, and has over 270 total tackles.
He has appeared in 79 games and has made 44 starts. The first five years of his career came with the Atlanta Falcons and this past season was spent with the 49ers.
Oliver has ties to the 49ers staff which has connections with the Jets. Additionally, he crossed over with Jets defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich during their time together on the Falcons from 2018 through 2020.
The Jet Press said on X previously Twitter that the Jets cornerback room “is so clearly the best in the NFL.”
“Sauce Gardner, DJ Reed, Michael Carter II, Isaiah Oliver, and Brandin Echols. All five [are] under contract next season. Elite top-3 and fantastic depth,” TJP continued.
Cimini said Oliver “already knows the system” and brings some versatility to the backend of the defense.
“The 27-year-old played primarily in the slot for the 49ers, but he has extensive starting experience on the outside,” Cimini continued.
