In the interim while Dre Greenlaw heals from an Achilles tendon tear, the 49ers require a weakside linebacker.
In addition to the Seattle Seahawks, the 49ers are among the few teams who have kept in touch with Jamal Adams, who is still a free agent, according to the Seattle Times.
Despite being a three-time All-Pro safety, Adams is not a costly free agent because injuries have only allowed him to play in 10 games over the last two seasons. He’s no longer even a safety. He will return to the 49ers as a weakside linebacker if he is re-signed by the Seahawks, which is probably where they would also like him to play.
In the interim while Dre Greenlaw heals from an Achilles tendon tear, the 49ers require a weakside linebacker. De’Vondre Campbell, who they signed, is more of a strongside linebacker at this stage in his career; he spent the previous two seasons playing for the Packers. Compared to Campbell, Adams would be a superior cover player and cover a lot more territory.
