Cheal expects the 49ers to hand Dre Greenlaw a contract extension beyond his one-year prove-it deal if he plays close to his pre-injury level, and anticipates another strong season from Fred Warner.
“Greenlaw has more to prove, but even if he is close to his pre-injury level, the 49ers will likely give him an extension to his one-year prove it deal.”
