NBC Sports Bay Area & California • • sports
Key Points:
- Dre Greenlaw has re-signed with the San Francisco 49ers on a one-year, $7.5 million contract after being released by the Denver Broncos following one season.
- Greenlaw expressed a strong desire to remain with the 49ers during the 2025 offseason but initially signed a three-year, $31.5 million deal with Denver due to the 49ers' inability to match the offer.
- The 49ers communicated to Greenlaw’s agent that they could not match Denver’s offer and wished him well, leading Greenlaw to commit to the Broncos despite ongoing efforts to return to San Francisco.
- Originally drafted by the 49ers in 2019, Greenlaw played six seasons with the team before his brief stint in Denver, and his return is seen as a chance to revitalize his career and bolster the 49ers' defense.
- Greenlaw’s presence is expected to address the 49ers' defensive struggles, particularly in stopping the run, and to bring energy and leadership to the team alongside key players like Fred Warner and Nick Bosa.
