"Although he comes with some injury concerns, as he has only suited up for 10 games over the last two seasons, Greenlaw is a good fit for the kind of defender Vrabel wants to have on the Patriots' defense. Not only is he a physical player, but he is also a reliable player who has proven he can be a threat to opposing quarterbacks during his tenure with the 49ers, paired up alongside Fred Warner."
"Greenlaw's experience in the league, but especially in Super Bowl runs, makes him a no-brainer to consider signing. If the Patriots want to replicate what they accomplished last year, bringing in solid voices to the locker room who can back up what they're saying will be crucial."
The Patriots had a quiet start to the 2026 offseason, signing only two players during the legal tampering period. Mike Vrabel and Eliot Wolf released linebacker Jahlani Tavai, creating an additional need at a position already considered weak on defense. With top linebacker prospects like Devin Lloyd and Quay Walker signing elsewhere, the Patriots should target Dre Greenlaw, recently released by Denver. Despite injury concerns limiting him to 10 games over two seasons, Greenlaw is a physical, reliable defender who proved effective alongside Fred Warner with the 49ers. His experience in Super Bowl runs and fit with Vrabel's defensive preferences make him a valuable option for New England.
