Greenlaw, 49ers Make Reunion Official; "Welcome Back to The Bay, Dre"
Greenlaw returns to the 49ers on a $7.5 million one-year deal to bolster a defense that struggled without him, after injuries limited his 2024 season with Denver.
- On March 12, 2026 the 49ers agreed to a one-year, $7.5 million deal to re-sign Greenlaw, reported by NFL Network.
- Injuries and reported personality-fit issues prompted Denver to release Greenlaw earlier this week after one season, limiting him to eight games due to injuries.
- Greenlaw was an integral part of San Francisco's defense from 2019 to 2024, recording 247 tackles in 2022-23, with career totals of 498 tackles, 4.5 sacks, and four interceptions.
- The 49ers expect Greenlaw to upgrade run defense and slot next to Fred Warner when he returns, while also saving $5.4 million on the 2026 salary cap after Bryce Huff's retirement.
- The Broncos designated Greenlaw's release as a post-June 1 transaction, saving $8.2 million on the 2026 cap and allowing immediate signing for his seventh season with the 49ers.
