49ers defender reveals what he said to get suspended in 2025
San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw was suspended for one game during the 2025 season with the Denver Broncos. He recently explained why.
Last offseason, the San Francisco 49ers lost linebacker Dre Greenlaw to the Denver Broncos on a three-year deal, but just a year later, he's back playing on Kyle Shanahan's defense alongside Fred Warner. Things didn't go great for Greenlaw in Denver, as the veteran battled injuries and received a one-game suspension for threatening a referee following a 33-32 win over the New York Giants. While it was previously unknown what Greenlaw said to referee Brad Allen that led to the suspension, the linebacker revealed his comments on a recent episode of "The Set" with former NFL offensive lineman Terron Armstead.
"I told him, I said, 'Man, that was [bullcrap],'" Greenlaw said . "You're a b---- for calling that. ' That's what I said to him, no cap.
That's exactly what I said to him. " Greenlaw admitted the decision to verbal accost Allen was a stupid mistake, but if he's being honest, that a low bar for a suspension by the league, which has allowed other players to get away with much worse.
