The 49ers had an eventful offseason when it comes to roster acquisitions, with wide receivers Mike Evans<\/a> and Christian Kirk<\/a> marking the most exciting additions for most fans.<\/p>\n

While bolstering the wide receiver room for Brock Purdy made more headlines around the NFL, 49ers fans rejoiced when San Francisco brought back star linebacker Dre Greenlaw.<\/a> After signing a three-year, $31.5 million contract with the Denver Broncos before this past season, Greenlaw was released by the team after appearing in just eight games.<\/p>\n

Despite the Broncos being out on Greenlaw, the Faithful and All-Pro linebacker Fred Warner have expressed excitement<\/a> regarding the move. However, those around the Bay aren’t the only ones pleased by the move, as former defensive coordinator and first-year Tennessee Titans head coach Robert Saleh recently told the media how excited he was for Greenlaw.<\/p>\n

“So happy for him,” Saleh said. “For Dre, good chance for him to get his feet back underneath him in a place where he’s familiar, knocking people around like he used to. I mean, he did it last year too, but pumped for Dre.”<\/p>\n

Saleh, a former linebackers coach himself, coached Greenlaw during the 2019 and 2020 seasons with San Francisco. <\/p>\n

The 28-year-old Greenlaw is heading into his eighth NFL season, totaling 498 tackles, 4.5 sacks and four interceptions. <\/p>\n

It’s unclear how much he has left in the tank, but clearly the 49ers were willing to find out.<\/p>\n
