The Denver Broncos Have traded veteran pass rusher Randy Gregory to the San Francisco 49ers, the team confirmed on Friday. The Broncos will also send San Francisco a 2024 seventh-round pick and receive a 2024 sixth-round pick in return.
Gregory’s trade to San Francisco comes days after it was reported Denver was waiving him, but the team never formally released the 30-year-old.
Cutting Gregory was “Something we felt was just best for our team right now timing-wise,” said head coach Sean Payton
Gregory signed a five-year, $70 million contract with Denver last offseason. He received $14 million guaranteed last year and another $14 million guaranteed this year on his 2023 base salary.
The Broncos didn’t exactly see a high return on investment there, as he played 10 games and had only three sacks over two seasons. The Broncos will pay Gregory $10 million for the rest of this season, he will reportedly get the veteran minimum of $840,000 from San Francisco through the end of the year
