Niners Re-sign Linebacker Greenlaw

0:00On March 31st, the San Francisco 49ers just brought back linebacker Dre Greenlaw on a one-year deal worth $6 million fully guaranteed. This move hits early in free agency as they flex their cap space to gear up for next season. Greenlaw, drafted back in 2019, was a beast next to Fred Warner, smashing plays from sideline to sideline. After shining in 2023, he tore his Achilles in the Super Bowl, missing most of 2024. The Niners extended him before that, but he bounced to Denver Broncos on a three-year, $31.5 million packed. Injuries limited him to just 10 games over the last two years, so Denver cut him loose. Coach Kyle Shanahan couldn't hide his excitement at the owner's meetings, calling Greenlaw one of the best he's coached and saying the team missed his. Fire on and off the field. It's clear they value his leadership as much as his tackles, especially after a tough stretch without him.

1:00Last year, young guns like Dee Winters and Taden Bethune stepped up big with Winters notching 101 tackles and a pick six while Bethune. Grab 94 tackles in his starts. Both are back, joining Warner and Luke Gifford to create real depth at linebacker. Expect competition when organized team activities kick off with Greenlaw likely sliding in a weak side, but nothing's locked until they hit the field. Together and shake off those injury cobwebs.
