Linebacker De’Vondre Campbell is now officially a former member of the Green Bay Packers, as he has agreed to a free-agent deal with the San Francisco 49ers. He still had three seasons left on the $50 million deal that he signed in 2022, but was released by the team on March 13 with a post-June 1 designation.
But it's clear that he has more than a few bones to pick with the organization, as he fired off several posts on his X (formerly known as Twitter) account.
“One thing I’m not gonna let happen is bad information being put out about me,” Campbell wrote. “All year I was out there tryna make people right because they were busting coverages and run fits.
“Listen if I would’ve listened to half the stuff they were telling me, I would’ve NEVER went all pro,” Campbell wrote. “All year all I heard was ‘Can you do this? It’ll help the scheme.” I kept saying no all year and look what happened. First Team All-Pro.
“Fast forward to [the] 2022 [and] 2023 seasons, I tried to be a team guy and play within the system and do what they asked. ‘Be more visual on QB and not look up routes.’ ‘Back up from LOS so I’m not pressing every WR or TE.” Look what happened. They had me [and] Quay [Walker] looking clueless smh.”
“You wanna know why we played better???” Campbell wrote. “Because I started going and having private meetings with Matt [LaFleur] and telling him we needed to be more aggressive. We needed more man and we needed to blitz more, and what happened when they listened to me. WE PLAYED WELL AND WON IT’S NO COINCIDENCE.”
“The organization didn’t even call me to ask if I wanted to take a pay cut,” Campbell then wrote. “They just released me after going in the media and saying me and Aaron Jones were apart [sic] of the future plans. They could’ve just told me the truth. I could easily be bitter, but I’m not.”
