Summary
- Dre Greenlaw rejoins the 49ers on a one-year, $7.5 million deal.

- Greenlaw played only two games in 2024 before rejoining the 49ers.
Linebacker Dre Greenlaw is set to return to the San Francisco 49ers after agreeing to a one-year deal worth $7.5 million. This signing follows his release from the Denver Broncos, where he spent only one season of a three-year contract. Greenlaw's tenure with the Broncos was significantly impacted by quad and hamstring injuries, leading him to play in just eight regular-season games during the 2025 season. He also missed one game due to a suspension.
Prior to his time in Denver, Greenlaw was with the 49ers. His 2024 season with San Francisco was cut short due to a torn Achilles suffered during Super Bowl LVIII in February 2024. He managed to play in only two games that season. Before his injury in 2024, Greenlaw was a key player for the 49ers, achieving back-to-back seasons with over 100 tackles in 2022 and 2023.
