Saints signed CB Isaac Yiadom, formerly of the 49ers, to a three-year, $9 million contract.
Yiadom returns to the Saints, who he played for in 2022 and 2023. The 29-year-old corner joined the 49ers on a one-year deal last offseason and appeared in all 17 games while making five starts. In those games, Yiadom totaled 46 tackles and one interception while also breaking up six passes and earning a PFF coverage grade of 55.3. One of Yiadom’s best seasons as a pro came in 2023 while with the Saints, where he broke up a career-high 13 passes. His signing doesn’t fully address the secondary problems the Saints had last season, but he’s a good depth signing who should be able to provide them plenty of snaps at a good value.
49ers agreed to terms with CB Isaac Yiadom, formerly of the Saints.
The 49ers will become Yiadom’s fifth team over the last five years, as the former third round pick has also spent time with the Texans, Packers, and Giants. Yiadom played on 517 defensive snaps last season, earning a PFF coverage grade of 80.4 while allowing 22 catches or 289 yards and three touchdowns on 44 targets. The veteran corner has started in 28 of the 87 games he’s appeared in for his career, and is likely more of a depth signing at this point.
Texans signed CB Isaac Yiadom to an undisclosed contract.
Yiadom spent last year as a Packers depth cornerback and didn't impress. He's yet to post a PFF Grade over 57 in any of his four seasons and allowed six touchdowns in 42 targets in 2020 per Sports Info Solutions charting. Nobody should ever be confident of where things stand with the Texans, but Yiadom is likely just fighting for a roster spot as a special teamer/depth player.
Pro Football Network's Aaron Wilson reports that the Texans are working out free agent CB Isaac Yiadom.
It appears to be cornerback workout day for the Texans with Malcolm Butler also in town. Yiadom played fewer than 100 defensive snaps last year for the Packers. He's got outside cornerback traits, but has not been able to convert them into good results to this point. He's still only 26 years old.
