Signed a contract with the 49ers in August of 2026.
Let go by San Francisco
The 49ers released Apple on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Apple signed a reserve deal with the team in late January after serving on the practice squad in 2025. The cornerback was elevated for two regular-season games and contributed primarily as a special-teams fill-in. The 30-year-old is now a free agent, able to sign with any team.

The tenth overall pick in 2016, Apple will play for the third team of his young career in joining the Panthers ahead of the 2020 campaign. After initial turbulence in New York, Apple found his footing in New Orleans last season, finishing with 58 tackles, four passes defended and a fumble recovery while starting all 15 games he played. In Carolina, the Panthers will hope Apple carries that consistency into a cornerback group that's largely unproven following James Bradberry's first-agent departure. Although recent second-rounder Donte Jackson returns, his uneven play could very well see Apple top the depth chart with his new team.
