Veteran free-agent linebacker De'Vondre Campbell is signing a one-year deal with the San Francisco 49ers, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The former Atlanta Falcon, Arizona Cardinal, and Green Bay Packer was named to the 2021 All-Pro team, the only such honor of his career. Through Campbell's first 115 NFL games, he has collected 779 tackles, 9.5 sacks, eight forced fumbles, seven interceptions, 28 passes defended, and 38 run stuffs. The 49ers originally planned to sign Eric Kendricks, but he decided to sign with the Dallas Cowboys instead. Campbell was the next option, and he's likely to start alongside Fred Warner early in the 2024 season while Dre Greenlaw (Achilles) recovers from a torn Achilles that he suffered in the Super Bowl loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Green Bay Packers linebacker De'Vondre Campbell (neck) is good to go for Sunday's meeting with the Chiefs. The 30-year-old has missed four games during the 2023-24 campaign, most recently sitting out the Week 12 matchup against the Lions because of a neck injury. Campbell has 52 total tackles (32 solo) this season, so the Packers are certainly thrilled to get him back versus Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and the rest of the Chiefs offense.
Green Bay Packers linebacker De'Vondre Campbell (knee) returns from a four-game absence in Week 13. He has been sidelined since Week 8 versus Buffalo. The 29-year-old was dominant when healthy, totaling 64 tackles, one interception, and one touchdown. He'll look to pick up right where he left off against the Bears on Sunday.
Green Bay Packers linebacker De'Vondre Campbell (knee) has been ruled out for the Week 9 game against the Detroit Lions on Sunday. Campbell suffered a right knee injury in the Week 8 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night and will miss at least one game. In his absence this weekend, Quay Walker should serve as the starting middle linebacker against the Lions. Campbell currently ranks tied for 17th among fantasy linebackers in total points this year in IDP fantasy leagues with 64 tackles (38 solo), six tackles for loss and an interception that was returned for a touchdown in his eight games played. The Packers defense will be a bit more vulnerable against the run on Sunday, which is good for running backs D'Andre Swift (ankle, shoulder) and Jamaal Williams.
Green Bay Packers linebacker De'Vondre Campbell (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of the Sunday night game against the Buffalo Bills due to a knee injury that he suffered late in the second quarter. Green Bay's defense will be without Campbell and Quay Walker, who was ejected earlier in the game for a scuffle on the sidelines. With both Campbell and Walker out for the rest of the contest, Isaiah McDuffie and Eric Wilson will see more snaps in the middle. The 29-year-old Campbell is a staple in IDP leagues, but it remains to be seen if his knee injury is serious enough to keep him out in Week 9 against the Detroit Lions. Campbell had three tackles (two solo) before departing Sunday night's game.
De'Vondre Campbell Questionable To Return Sunday Night
Green Bay Packers linebacker De'Vondre Campbell (knee) is listed as questionable to return to the Sunday night game against the Buffalo Bills after suffering a knee injury in the first half. Campbell was seen walking to the locker room late in the second quarter with an ice pack on his right knee. It's unclear if the 29-year-old will be able to return for the second half, and if he doesn't, it's more bad news for a Packers defense that is getting exposed by an elite Buffalo offense. Expect Eric Wilson to see more playing time for Green Bay if Campbell doesn't make it back in this contest. Before leaving with his knee injury, Campbell had three tackles (two solo).
Linebacker De'Vondre Campbell will return to Green Bay on a five-year, $50 million deal. Despite the team's salary cap concerns, the front office appears committed to getting Aaron Rodgers everything he needs to win another Super Bowl by bringing back a familiar face on the defensive end. While most thought Campbell's best days were behind him, his career was resurrected in Green Bay by finishing with a career-high 146 tackles along with two sacks and two interceptions. The veteran also had less than six tackles in a game only twice during the 2021-22 campaign, so he's someone to watch for managers in IDP formats.
Packers Interested In Re-Signing De'Vondre Campbell
Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said the team is "very optimistic and hopeful" of re-signing impending free-agent linebacker De'Vondre Campbell. The 28-year-old had a career year in 2021 after signing a one-year deal with Green Bay, so it's no wonder they'd like to bring him back. Campbell had a career-high 146 tackles (102 solo), six tackles for loss, six QB hits, two interceptions, five passes defensed, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and two sacks in 16 regular season games for the Packers last year to earn first-team All-Pro honors for the first time in his career. He finished as the No. 5 fantasy linebacker in IDP leagues and will be highly coveted entering 2022 drafts in those formats, especially if he's back with the Packers.
The Green Bay Packers signed free-agent linebacker De'Vondre Campbell to an undisclosed deal on Wednesday and released running back Mike Weber in a corresponding move. A six-year veteran from the University of Minnesota, Campbell will help the team's thin inside linebacker position. A fourth-round pick of the Atlanta Falcons back in 2016, he had 99 tackles and started all 16 games last season for the Arizona Cardinals. Campbell spent the first four seasons of his NFL career in Atlanta. In 75 career games (70 starts), the 27-year-old has 462 tackles (303 solo), 13 QB hits, three interceptions, 19 passes defensed, six forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and 7.5 sacks.
The Arizona Cardinals agreed to a one-year, $8.5 million deal with former Atlanta Falcons linebacker De'Vondre Campbell on Thursday. Campbell, a former fourth-round pick of the Falcons in 2016, had a career-high 129 tackles (75 solo), six tackles for loss, two QB hits, two interceptions, five passes defensed, three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 16 games (15 starts) last season. The 26-year-old has just 5.5 sacks in his four seasons, but he has racked up 90-plus combined tackles in each of the last three years and is an up-and-comer for Arizona's interior defense.
