Overview
- Art Stapleton said he heard San Francisco might weigh trading All-Pro linebacker Fred Warner if the team could bring back Dre Greenlaw, who left for Denver.
- Major outlets amplified the comment as a rumor and emphasized there is no confirmation from the 49ers or Broncos.
- Warner, a defensive cornerstone, signed a multi-year extension in 2025 and missed most of last season after a dislocated and fractured right ankle in October.
- Greenlaw is a Broncos starter under contract through 2027, making a theoretical reacquisition part of the speculation.
- Coverage notes such a move is viewed as unlikely, frames it within broader offseason cost and roster recalibration talk, and mentions potential interest from the Cowboys, Giants, and Broncos.
