"Greenlaw spent his first five seasons with the 49ers before signing a three-year, $31.5 million contract with the Denver Broncos last year. Denver, however, released Greenlaw this week. Greenlaw, 28, finished his lone season with the Broncos with 43 tackles, an interception and a forced fumble in eight games."
"The Broncos signed Greenlaw with the hope that he would add some physicality to a defense that had some difficulty limiting opponents' explosive runs in the 2024 season. But he missed the offseason program and the Broncos' first six games of the season because of thigh injuries."
"He was also suspended for a game -- the Broncos' Oct. 26 win over the Dallas Cowboys -- because of a postgame confrontation with referee Brad Allen after the Broncos' win over the New York Giants. At the time, the NFL said Greenlaw 'chased after referee Brad Allen and verbally threatened him as he tried to leave the field.'"
Dre Greenlaw has rejoined the San Francisco 49ers on a one-year deal worth $7.5 million after spending one season with the Denver Broncos. The 28-year-old linebacker played his first five seasons with San Francisco before signing a three-year, $31.5 million contract with Denver last year. During his single season with the Broncos, Greenlaw appeared in eight regular season games, recording 43 tackles, an interception, and a forced fumble, plus 10 tackles in two playoff games. His tenure in Denver was hampered by thigh injuries that caused him to miss the offseason program and the team's first six games, as well as a one-game suspension for a postgame confrontation with referee Brad Allen.
