Greenlaw Returns to Niners, Seeking Super Bowl Fire

On April 1st, Dre Greenlaw is suiting up again for the San Francisco 49ers after sitting

out just one year.

The veteran linebacker, drafted by the team back in 2019, always pictured himself as a

niner for life, loyal to the bay from day 1.

Heading into free agency before the 2025 season, he kept talking with San Francisco, testing

the waters on their offer.

But when Denver came calling with a solid three-year deal, he had to weigh his options and eventually

signed on with the Broncos.

Kinglaw felt the distance growing.

He rang up the niner's a couple times to gauge their interest, and why their bid lagged

behind others.

He straight up said it seemed like he wasn't part of the squad anymore, which stung after

all those years.

Fast forward, the Broncos cut him loose after that single season in Denver.

His agent looped back to San Francisco with the news, and they responded with a quick text,

congrats, but we can't match it, best of luck moving, forward.

Now Greenlaw's back where his heart always was, rejoining the 49ers in free agency, and

gunning to rediscover that Super Bowl fire he brought before.
