Re-signing with Gang Green
The Jets agreed to terms on a contract with Oliver on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The details of the deal have yet to be announced, but Oliver will play for the Jets at least for the 2025 campaign. He played in all 17 regular-season games for the Jets in 2024 (including seven starts) and finished with 57 tackles (15 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and three pass defenses. The veteran corner figures to play a prominent role in the Jets' secondary for the 2025 season.

Plays in all 17 games in 2024
Oliver totaled 57 tackles (42 solo), including 1.0 sacks, along with three pass defenses over 17 contests (seven starts) during the regular season.
Analysis: Oliver's role and defensive snap share fluctuated in his first season with the Jets, but he stayed healthy and was active for all 17 of the team's games. The veteran defensive back logged 10 fewer tackles than in his prior season (which he spent with San Francisco) but increased his defensed-pass total by one. Oliver will be an unrestricted free agent upon the beginning of the offseason.

Gets expanded role Sunday
Oliver recorded seven tackles (four solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 25-22 loss at New England.
Analysis: He had been rotating in and out of action up until Sunday's contest, but with Tony Adams (hamstring) sidelined, Oliver was on the field for nearly every one of the Jets' defensive snaps in Week 8. He could be in line for a similar role in Week 9 versus the Texans if Adams still can't go.

Gets new position
Oliver will play safety in 2024, according to defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Oliver has spent the bulk of his first six NFL seasons at cornerback, but with his move to the Jets in free agency, a new position awaits the 27-year-old.

Headed to Big Apple
Oliver signed a one-year contract with the Jets on Sunday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Oliver was a mainstay in Atlanta's secondary over the first five seasons of his career. He then signed with the 49ers as a free agent in March 2023, going on to tally 67 tackles and one interception while appearing in all 17 regular-season games, including six starts. Oliver was then released by San Francisco on Feb. 23, allowing him to sign with a new team before the start of the new league year Wednesday.

Let go by San Francisco
The 49ers released Oliver on Friday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Oliver just had a fairly successful season as a rotational cornerback in his first year with San Francisco, but it seems as if the team has now decided to part ways with the 27-year-old. He was able to post 67 total tackles, two pass deflections and one interception while appearing in all 20 of the 49ers' contests (including playoffs). This move creates $2.4 million in cap space but also leads to an approximate $1.5 million dead cap charge, per Nicholas McGee of AtoZ Sports Nashville.

Successful season as nickel CB
Oliver appeared in 17 regular-season games with San Francisco in 2023, finishing with 67 tackles (48 solo), two passes defended and one interception.
Analysis: Oliver signed with the 49ers this past offseason to help fill the void left by nickel specialist K'Waun Williams' departure in 2022. It would be unfair to hold the former to the latter's standards, but Oliver certainly held his own while playing in every game for San Francisco. The six-year pro will resume covering opposing slot receivers for the 49ers in 2024.

Sets career high in tackles Sunday
Oliver had 10 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 31-17 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: His 10 tackles Sunday was the first time in Oliver's career that he has recorded double-digit tackles in a game since entering the league in 2018. He's established himself as the slot corner behind starters Deommodore Lenoir and Charvarius Ward, while Oliver has played at least 40 defensive snaps in each of the last three games.

Expected to play nickelback in 2023
49ers defensive coordinator Steven Wilks said Friday that Oliver is expected to play nickelback in 2023, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The 2018 second-round pick signed a two-year deal to join San Francisco this offseason after five seasons in Atlanta. Oliver was a solid contributor when healthy, but a torn ACL cost him parts of the 2021 and 2022 campaigns. Wilks added that he expects to use the defensive back occasionally as a blitzer out of the slot. Oliver has just two career sacks, but he's back to full strength and could reach new heights with an aggressive role in the 49ers' talented defense.

Heading to Bay Area
The 49ers agreed to terms with Oliver on a two-year deal Wednesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Oliver will head to San Francisco after seeing prominent playing time over the past four seasons with Atlanta. The 26-year-old cornerback missed the first five games of the 2022 campaign while recovering from a torn ACL suffered Week 4 of 2021. Oliver was still productive over the final 12 regular-season games last year, recording 37 tackles and seven passes defended, including just the second interception of his career.

Records first sack of season
Oliver recorded nine tackles (five solo), two pass defenses and one sack during Sunday's 20-19 win over Arizona.
Analysis: Oliver posted a season-high nine tackles and recorded his first sack of the 2022 campaign when he took down David Blough for a seven-yard loss on the second play of the game. The 2018 second-round pick will look to build off his best performance of the year during Atlanta's regular-season finale against Tampa Bay on Sunday.

Moves off of IR
Atlanta activated Oliver (knee) from its injured reserve list Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus San Francisco, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Oliver is now poised to return from the ACL tear he suffered last season. The 26-year-old corner should be in line for a significant role in the Falcons' defensive backfield once he's fully back up to speed.

Designated to return from IR
Oliver (knee) was designated to return from injured reserve and practiced Wednesday, Scott Bair of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: Oliver tore his ACL in Week 4 last season and was limited during minicamp before returning to full-team drills at the start of training camp. He didn't play in either of the team's first two exhibition games but saw 31 defensive snaps during the preseason finale. However, he was placed on IR ahead of the 53-man roster deadline to give him extra time to finish his rehab. Now, just over a year after initially suffering the injury, he appears ready to put the issue behind him. He'll have 21 days…read more

Placed on injured reserve
The Falcons placed Oliver (knee) on injured reserve Thursday, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Oliver underwent season-ending knee surgery last year in October and was limited during minicamp in June but returned to full-team drills at the start of training camp. He didn't suit up for either of the Falcons' first two exhibition contests but played 31 defensive snaps during the preseason finale. However, he appears to still be dealing with lingering effects of the surgery and will miss at least the first four games of the 2022 regular season.

Fully practices Friday
Oliver (knee) practiced with Atlanta's first-team defense during 11-on-11 drills Friday, Ashton Edmunds of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Oliver worked with the Falcons' first unit for the first time this training camp after participating in a limited capacity during the team's minicamp in June. The fifth-year cornerback totaled 11 tackles and three passes defended before undergoing season-ending knee surgery in October that limited him to just four games in 2021. Oliver previously worked with the second-team defense, and he should compete with Casey Hayward and Dee Alford for a starting role heading into the regular season.

Analysis: Oliver had surgery after suffering a season-ending knee injury in October, but he has yet to return to the practice field. Although he has no official timetable, head coach Arthur Smith has praised the intensity with which Oliver has attacked his rehab. In four games in 2021, Oliver made 11 tackles and deflected three passes while forcing and recovering a fumble.

Analysis: Oliver appeared in each of the first four games of the 2021 campaign before undergoing season-ending knee surgery. He totaled 11 tackles (seven solo), three pass defenses, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery last year, and he should be healthy heading into offseason activities.

Ends 2020 campaign with 70 tackles
Oliver collected two tackles (including one for loss) during last Sunday's 44-27 loss to the Buccaneers, and he wrapped up the 2020 campaign with 70 tackles, six pass deflections, a forced fumble and one sack.
Analysis: Oliver has been unable to collect an interception over 188 coverage targets the past two seasons, surrendering 12 passing touchdowns and 8.8 yards per target during that span. The Colorado standout went without a game absence between 2019 and 2020, but he also conceded a passer rating of 113 or higher in each season. That's after Oliver held opponents to an 89.1 passer rating and two TDs (over 27 targets) his rookie year. The 2018 second-round draft choice is under contract with Atlanta for one…read more

Absent from injury report
Oliver (cramps) is not listed on Wednesday's injury report, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: Oliver left last weekend's loss to the Buccaneers in the second half due to cramps, but it appears that the issue hasn't carried over to practice. He's set to suit up against the Chiefs on Sunday, and if Darqueze Dennard (quadriceps) misses another contest, Oliver could benefit from increased snaps.

Analysis: The Colorado product has avoided a game absence all season, and he's only missed two total contests since entering the league in 2018. Oliver had made his presence felt by racking up six tackles prior to his second-half exit.

Notches first career sack on TNF
Oliver collected three total tackles and one sack during Thursday's 25-17 win against the Panthers.
Analysis: Oliver came firing off the edge on a third-down play in the final minute of the first quarter, sacking Teddy Bridgewater for a 12-yard loss to force a Carolina punt. Though the third-year cornerback was able to come away with his first career sack Thursday night, and an important one at that, he has continued to struggle as a cover man. So far in 2020, Oliver is surrendering a career-worst 71.4 percent completion rate while allowing four TDs on 49 targets.

Starts all 16 games for Falcons
Oliver compiled 61 total tackles, 11 pass deflections and one forced fumble across 16 starts for Atlanta in 2019.
Analysis: The sophomore cornerback performed competently during his first full season as a starter, playing 80-plus percent of his team's defensive snaps in 13 of 16 games and leading the Falcons in passes defensed. Oliver proved to be durable in joining Ricardo Allen as the only Falcons defensive backs to start all 16 contests in 2019, but his ability to produce takeaways has been lacking through the first two years of his NFL career. The 23-year-old has just one interception in 30 contests since being…read more

Ready to face 49ers
Oliver (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the 49ers.
Analysis: To the relief of the Falcons' secondary, Oliver is good to go. Desmond Trufant (forearm) is already done for the year, so the team could ill afford to lose another starting cornerback against the 49ers' top-tier passing game. Oliver will likely face a heavy dose of Emmanuel Sanders and Deebo Samuel.

Oliver (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Oliver was able to practice Thursday after sitting out the day prior, and he still has a shot to play Sunday. If the 23-year-old is unable to go, it would mark his first game missed this season.

Wearing non-contact jersey
Oliver (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Analysis: Oliver was limited to non-contact drills in Thursday's practice, but he's nonetheless taken a positive step forward after being held out of Wednesday's session entirely. The starting cornerback may need to resume participating in full-contact activities Friday for any chance of facing the 49ers on Sunday. In the event that Oliver were forced to miss any time, Jordan Miller and Blidi Wreh-Wilson would be candidates to play expanded roles in Atlanta's secondary.

Nursing shoulder injury
Oliver did not participate in Wednesday's practice due to a shoulder injury.
Analysis: Oliver's shoulder issue is a bit of a mystery after the starting cornerback played 80 percent of the Falcons' defensive snaps Sunday, but his status for Week 15 is now in question. If the shoulder remains bothersome for Oliver, Jordan Miller and Blidi Wreh-Wilson could see additional reps opposite Kendall Sheffield.
