Overview
- Denver officially designated Greenlaw’s release as post–June 1 on Thursday, creating a little more than $8 million in cap relief for 2026.
- In 2025 with the Broncos, Greenlaw appeared in eight regular-season games and logged 43 tackles, one interception, one sack and one forced fumble, and he served a one-game suspension.
- His recent availability has been limited since rupturing his Achilles during Super Bowl LVIII, leading to only two games played in 2024.
- San Francisco plans to use the veteran as depth alongside Fred Warner and younger linebackers such as Dee Winters under new defensive coordinator Raheem Morris.
- The reunion coincided with roster churn on defense, as defensive end Bryce Huff announced his retirement on Thursday.
