The San Francisco 49ers made a splash move on Saturday, trading for Denver Broncos edge rusher Randy Gregory and a 2024 seventh-round pick in exchange for a 2024 sixth-rounder.
Gregory, 30, will be owed just the prorated veteran’s minimum from the 49ers, which is just $840,000, for the remainder of the season, as the Broncos are covering his entire $14 million salary in the move.
Yesterday, I wrote about how Gregory would fit in well with the 49ers, pointing to the upgrade on the edge that the former Bronco provides.
It seems like his teammates agree, as left tackle Trent Williams and defensive lineman Arik Armstead both were nothing but complimentary about their new teammate, deeming Gregory “a perfect fit”.
