In a significant blow to the New Orleans Saints, cornerback Isaac Yiadom has chosen to sign with the San Francisco 49ers during the 2024 offseason, according to Jeremy Fowler’s report.
Yiadom played a crucial role in the Saints’ secondary last season, especially after Marshon Lattimore’s injury sidelined him. He showcased his skills with an impressive tally of fourteen pass breakups while donning the Saints’ uniform.
At just 28 years old, Yiadom’s departure leaves a void in the Saints’ defensive depth chart, as he would have been a valuable asset for the team this year.
Despite starting only eight games in 2023, Yiadom demonstrated discipline on the field, with only two penalties called against him and an impressive 48.9% completion percentage allowed, ranking him 12th in the NFL in this regard.
Moreover, Yiadom’s contributions extended beyond defence, as he also made significant contributions on special teams, logging the fifth-most snaps in this role for the Saints, totalling 267 special teams snaps.
His breakout performance last season highlights the challenge the Saints face in replacing him on their cornerback depth chart. While there are still intriguing options available in free agency, the upcoming NFL Draft presents an opportunity for the Saints’ front office to bolster their secondary with new talent.
