Linebacker Dre Greenlaw is returning to the San Francisco 49ers on a one-year, $7.5 million contract after being released by the Denver Broncos. Greenlaw, a 2019 fifth-round pick, played his first six seasons with the 49ers before joining Denver, where he appeared in eight regular-season games and two playoff games, recording 43 tackles, one sack, one interception, and one forced fumble. His tenure with the Broncos was limited by injuries and a game suspension. The 49ers' move aims to strengthen their linebacker unit, while defensive end Bryce Huff has announced his retirement from the NFL.
