Isaac Yiadom was decent with the New Orleans Saints in the 2023-24 NFL season, starting almost half the season and notching 37 tackles (25 solo), 14 pass breakups and an interception and fumble recovery each. The Saints managed to go 9-8, just missing the playoffs via tiebreak.

What puts him on the cutting block, though, is the depth of the 49ers' secondary. Charvarius Ward and Deommodore Lenoir are expected to start in the corners, with former Baltimore Raven Rock Ya-Sin expected to be the main reliever.

Furthermore, moving him farther back to safety may not be an option either. While Talanoa Hufanga heals his knee, George Odum will likely have the strong side on lockdown. The free side could rest on Ji'Ayir Brown, with Malik Mustapha to back him up.
