The San Francisco 49ers had quite a few key departures this offseason, with the most notable one arguably being linebacker Dre Greenlaw heading to the Denver Broncos on a three-year deal worth over $30 million.
Greenlaw, a longtime starter for the 49ers since being drafted by the franchise in the fifth round of the 2019 NFL Draft, had been the No. 2 linebacker to Fred Warner, but played only half of the 2024 season due to a Torn Achilles injury he suffered in the 2023 Super Bowl.
The 49ers tried to make a last-ditch effort to sign Greenlaw, but it was to no avail, as the linebacker joined former San Francisco safety Talanoa Hufanga with the Denver Broncos.
