The San Francisco 49ers, unexpectedly missing the playoffs in 2024, now face a challenging offseason ahead. Despite making a Super Bowl appearance the previous year, their hopes were dashed due to significant injuries.
As a result, the 49ers will need to reevaluate their roster and make some critical decisions, including whether to offer quarterback Brock Purdy a major extension. While the team has built a solid roster and maintained cap flexibility, the upcoming offseason will see costs rise, potentially leading to some departures.
One key player facing free agency is linebacker Dre Greenlaw, whose future is uncertain after an injury-plagued season. Greenlaw, who has been a standout when healthy, will be a sought-after free agent as his current contract expires. According to Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox, the Los Angeles Rams could be an ideal destination for Greenlaw, especially with their need for help in the defensive backfield. Other potential suitors include the Washington Commanders, particularly if they don’t re-sign Bobby Wagner. Greenlaw’s two-year, $16.4 million contract is ending, and it’s unclear whether he will return to the 49ers.
