On Monday, the San Francisco 49ers signed De’Vondre Campbell to a one-year contract, adding another seasoned player to their linebacker corps. After three seasons (2021–2023) with the Green Bay Packers, where he was selected to the First Team All-Pro in 2021, Campbell is coming to The Bay. With defensive star Dre Greenlaw healing from a ruptured Achilles sustained in Super Bowl LVIII and Oren Burks joining the Philadelphia Eagles in free agency, the linebacker position needs reinforcement.
