Niners Re-sign Linebacker Greenlaw

0:00On March 31st, the San Francisco 49ers just brought back linebacker Dre Greenlaw on a one-year prove-a-deal worth $8 million. After letting him walk to the Denver Broncos last season, they jumped at the chance when Denver released him, reuniting a key piece of their defense. They regretted that move from the jump, even flying out to his house last year to pitch a better offer. Now, with this low risk contract, it's a smart play to get him proving his worth again on the field. Which Kyle Shanahan couldn't hide his excitement, calling Greenlaw one of the best linebackers he's coached, and a total gem for the team. General manager John Lynch echoed that, praising his long track record, locker room vibe, and defensive boost, Greenlaw's more than just tackles. He's the emotional spark that fires up the whole union, like the motor that drives everyone harder. Players have always said he sets the tone, which the Niners desperately missed without him. If he stays healthy through most of the games, this could end up as their top off-season grab, restoring that edge they've lacked for a couple years.
