Dre Greenlaw seemingly had words for his former coach during Sunday's game between the San Francisco 49ers.

The veteran linebacker was released by the Broncos this offseason and appeared to say something to head coach Sean Payton during and after Sunday's meeting.

"I told him to get the f--k off the field," Greenlaw said of his postgame exchange, per Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle. "That's it: 'Get the f--k off the field.'"

Greenlaw also noted that he was motivated by "the disrespect," calling out Payton for not calling him to inform him about his release:

Those comments come after he discussed the matter with reporters in the locker room.

"I mean, I just haven't talked to him in months. Even since I was on the team," Greenlaw said. "It's just a lot."

Payton had nothing bad to say about Greenlaw after the game and said that he and the player are "all good."

"I think the world of him. I love everything about him," Payton said. "He plays with that emotion and so, all good."

Greenlaw ultimately got the last laugh over his head coach, as he and the Niners beat the Broncos 24-14 to improve to 4-0. Greenlaw led the team with 12 tackles, a season high for him thus far.

It's unclear what exactly went down between Greenlaw and Payton in Denver, but being released by a team always leaves some negative feelings. That much was evident on Sunday.
