Overview
- San Francisco brought back linebacker Dre Greenlaw on a one-year, fully guaranteed $6 million contract after his year in Denver.
- Speaking with Cooper Kupp on the Real Ones podcast, Fred Warner said Greenlaw’s return is “bad” for opponents, explicitly naming Matthew Stafford.
- Warner emphasized an “unspoken language” with Greenlaw built over years together, praising his athleticism and relentlessness.
- The 49ers are looking to rebound on defense after an injury-hit 2025 season in which Warner played only six games with a fractured ankle and the unit slipped to around 20th.
- Robert Saleh departed for the Titans’ head-coaching job and Raheem Morris now leads the defense as Greenlaw returns from a Broncos stint that included eight games and 43 tackles.
