The Green Bay Packers continue to make difficult decisions every single off-season. Three years in a row they have moved on from some beloved players. Davante Adams, Aaron Rodgers, and Aaron Jones certainly headline that list, however, there have been many more.
This week the Packers decided to move on from a former All-Pro. A move that wasn’t necessarily surprising, but certainly left a hole in the Packers’ defense.
The Green Bay Packers Decided To Move On From Linebacker De’Vondre Campbell
The San Francisco 49ers have signed Campbell – a 2022 first-team All-Pro – to a one-year contract for 2024, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports. He was released with a post-June 1 destination on March 13, resulting in roughly $10.57 million in delayed salary-cap relief on June 2.
Campbell’s release by the Packers wasn’t a major surprise. A discount veteran signee in 2021, he was named All-Pro for the team in 2022, earning him a five-year, $50 million contract extension. In 2023, however, he missed six games with injuries and struggled to play consistently for a defense that looked lost for much of the season.
De’Vondre Campbell Had Something To Say On Instagram Following His Signing
While news of his signing broke, Campbell took to Instagram to poke fun at his former team, the Green Bay Packers.

When fans saw this on Twitter (X) they certainly had a few reactions:
Oh brother

I mean, Joe Barry pretty much misused almost every Packers player on defense the past few years.

Lol, GB saved this dude’s career and paid him a lot of money. Ungrateful and bitter!!!

Like… He misused equipment and that’s why he was always hurt?

It is likely Packers fans will be monitoring how Campbell does with the San Francisco 49ers this year. I would expect some heavy hitting on both sides if the teams meet in the playoffs again.
