Ex-49ers Star Regrets Saints Move After 4 Straight Losses
Leaving San Francisco this offseason was meant to be a fresh start. But after just a few weeks in New Orleans, disappointment is already setting in, with the Saints stumbling to four consecutive losses out of the gate.
The veteran corner voiced his frustration following the team’s latest defeat, admitting the situation has been far from what he envisioned when he agreed to leave the 49ers for New Orleans back in March.
Isaac Yiadom, who signed a three-year, $9 million deal with the Saints according to ESPN, reflected openly: "I regret leaving San Francisco for New Orleans. Four straight losses with the Saints make it hard to see any future here. In San Francisco, there was a culture of winning, and the locker room felt like family. That kind of bond is something I’ll never forget."
Yiadom appeared in all 17 games for the 49ers in 2024, including five starts, and recorded one interception, six passes defended, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, and 46 combined tackles. His departure surprised fans who saw him as a reliable rotational CB behind Charvarius Ward and Deommodore Lenoir.
Through three games in New Orleans, Yiadom has been limited to just nine total tackles and no takeaways, per NFL.com. The Saints’ four-game losing skid has highlighted their defensive struggles and intensified his feelings of regret.
Reaction to his move has been sharp since March. On X, @NinerEmpire lamented the loss of a “trusted rotational CB,” worrying that the secondary would be stretched too thin without his presence. For Yiadom, the question now is how long his Saints chapter will last.
