The San Francisco 49ers<\/a> have been known to be in the running to enhance their defensive front<\/a>: whether on the line or at linebacker.<\/p>\n

Now, a 35-year-old two-time Super Bowl champion has just entered the chat.<\/p>\n

Kyle Van Noy<\/a>, an unrestricted free agent outside linebacker who last played with the Baltimore Ravens<\/a> during the 2025 season, made an appearance on Up and Adams with Kay Adams<\/a> and expressed his desire to play alongside 49ers linebacker Fred Warner<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I would really like to play with my little brother Fred Warner with the Niners. I think they got something cooking over there,” Van Noy said during his recent interview. “I know they love Joey Bosa<\/a>, because Nick and all that, I get that, but I would love to play with my little brother.”<\/p>\n

He added: “That’s my guy and I think they got something cooking over there. … I would love to play with Frederico, a little bit.”<\/p>\n

When pryed by Adams, Van Noy said that he wouldn’t get into details on whether he or his agent has talked to anyone in the 49ers front office.<\/p>\n

“Honestly, I’m just enjoying my time,” Van Noy said. “I’m enjoying the conversations I have with my agent. I’m enjoying the process.”<\/p>\n

If it did happen, it would give another veteran presence and talented addition to their linebacker room. Van Noy would make for a great emergency, in case of injury, let alone, playing meaningful downs. After all, he is a two-time champion with the New England Patriots<\/a> in 2016 and 2018.<\/p>\n

Van Noy has appeared in 173 career games, starting in 115. He has recorded 561 tackles, 375 solo and 186 assisted. He has collected 57 quarterback sacks, including a career-high 12.5 sacks in 2024 with the Ravens<\/a>, where he was named to the 2024 Pro Bowl.<\/p>\n
