While speaking with reporters today, 49ers GM <strong>John Lynch<\/strong> said the two sides are engaged in ongoing discussions, and there\u2019s optimism that they agree to a new pact before free agency.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, Lynch acknowledged that Greenlaw may look to test free agency before definitively returning to the only team he\u2019s ever played for.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cDre should go out and see what\u2019s out there,\u201d<\/em> Lynch said (via Matt Barrows of The Athletic). <em>\u201cAnd then we\u2019ll know where we have to be. We know how highly we think of Dre. We\u2019d love to have him back. Hopefully, we\u2019ll come to an agreement. We\u2019ve been having talks. So hopefully we can prevent him from testing free agency.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Greenlaw suffered an Achilles tear during Super Bowl LVIII, but he worked his way back to make his 2024 debut this past December. The linebacker exited his first game after logging 30 snaps, and he got into only four defensive plays the following week. With the 49ers subsequently out of the playoff picture, both sides decided to shut the veteran down for the rest of the 2024 campaign.<\/p>\n<p>A former fifth-round pick, Greenlaw has been a productive member of the 49ers throughout his career. However, the defender\u2019s stint has partly been defined by injuries; in addition to the aforementioned Achilles injury, Greenlaw was limited to three games in 2021 thanks to a groin injury. In his four mostly healthy seasons, the linebacker has collected 425 tackles, and he\u2019s added another 72 stops in 12 playoff starts.<\/p>\n<p>The 49ers struggled to replace Greenlaw\u2019s production in 2024, as the team\u2019s backup plan notably blew up when <strong>De\u2019Vondre Campbell<\/strong> refused to enter a game. Even if the organization does re-sign the veteran, it wouldn\u2019t be shocking if they add more depth at the weakside linebacker spot.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 49ers have engaged in extension talks with linebacker Dre Greenlaw.
