Overview
- San Francisco re-signed linebacker Dre Greenlaw to a fully guaranteed one-year contract that outlets report in the $6 million to $7.5 million range.
- Head coach Kyle Shanahan said he is most likely the weakside starter, with the Warner–Greenlaw pairing praised for its easy on-field rhythm.
- Greenlaw returned after Denver released him following an injury-shortened 2025 that saw him play eight regular-season games and two postseason contests.
- In limited 2025 snaps, Pro Football Focus graded him 74.8 overall with strong run defense, ranking 19th among 88 qualified linebackers.
- The short-term deal fits a tighter budget, as GM John Lynch noted the team likely cannot afford high-priced targets such as free agent pass rusher Joey Bosa.
