SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Since coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch arrived in 2017, the San Francisco 49ers have made a habit of devoting resources to bolstering their defensive line. They did it again Friday when they agreed to a trade with the Denver Broncos that will bring edge rusher Randy Gregory to the Bay Area.
Shanahan confirmed Friday that the Niners and Broncos agreed to a trade that will send Gregory and a 2024 seventh-round pick to San Francisco in exchange for a 2024 sixth-round pick.
"Two years ago, when we played them in Dallas, he was as good of a rusher as we had gone against," Shanahan said.
