Overview
- The 49ers officially announced the reunion Friday, confirming a one-year contract reportedly worth $7.5 million.
- Greenlaw’s release appeared on the NFL transaction wire Thursday with a post–June 1 designation that yields about $8.19 million in 2026 cap relief and pushes roughly $2.17 million of dead money into 2027.
- Denver’s decision came after re-signing inside linebackers Alex Singleton and Justin Strnad, clearing the path to move on from Greenlaw.
- In 2025 with the Broncos, Greenlaw played eight games (seven starts) and logged 43 tackles, one sack, one interception and one forced fumble, and he served a one-game suspension for confronting referee Brad Allen.
- Greenlaw returns to a familiar locker room to compete for snaps next to Fred Warner under new defensive coordinator Raheem Morris after missing most of 2024 recovering from an Achilles tear sustained in Super Bowl LVIII.
