Greenlaw Returns to 49ers: Full-Circle Moment

0:00On April 5th, linebacker Dre Greenlaw is back with the San Francisco 49ers for the 2026 season, just one year after signing A, three year deal with the Denver Broncos. After six strong years in San Francisco, he bounced to Denver last off season, but now the reunion is on. Earlier this week on a podcast with Terran Armstead, Greenlaw dropped a wild story from his draft days. He said he straight up told then-team-made Demeco Ryan's that San Francisco was off his list, even leaving behind a backpack they gave him. Turns out, he ended up there anyway. Fans are buzzing about the full circle moment, especially since Greenlaw was a key piece of the 49ers defense. Over those six seasons, he played 64 games, started 56, and racked up 455 tackles, three interceptions, and three. 0.5 sacks? The stats show why both sides wanted him back. He brought energy and big plays every time. No hard feelings from the Broncos split, and San Francisco sees this as a smart move to reload.
