The 49ers are acquiring pass rusher Randy Gregory from the Denver Broncos, where he signed in free agency last year after seven previous seasons on the Dallas Cowboys.
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS – OCTOBER 01: Justin Fields #1 of the Chicago Bears passes the ball over Randy Gregory #5 of the Denver Broncos at Soldier Field on October 01, 2023 in Chicago, Illinois. SANTA CLARA — The 49ers’ relentless pursuit of a premier defensive front prompted them Friday to trade for pass rusher Randy Gregory, a league source confirmed.
The deal comes just two days before the 49ers host the Dallas Cowboys, who were Gregory’s initial team from 2015-21 before he left in free agency last year for the Broncos’ higher bid. The 49ers entered Friday with $40 million in salary cap space, having recently restructured the contracts of Trent Williams, George Kittle and Arik Armstead.
The 49ers began this season by signing Nick Bosa to the richest contract in NFL history for a non-quarterback , and that came after they spent big in free agency to sign defensive tackle Javon Hargrave .San Francisco 49ers |Hargrave’s three sacks share the team lead with Drake Jackson, who got all three of his in a season-opening rout at Pittsburgh. The 49ers overall had five sacks in Week 1, but just four combined in their three ensuing victories.“We are hitting the quarterback quite a bit.
