The Green Bay Packers have decided to release linebacker De'Vondre Campbell in a move to save on salary cap space, officially saving $10.5 million. This decision will officially take effect when the new league year opens on Wednesday. By designating Campbell as a Post June 1st release, the Packers will carry his $14.2 million cap hit into June, then take on dead hits of $3.6 million in 2024 and $7.9 million in 2025. Following his release, the San Francisco 49ers have shown strong interest in Campbell, an eight-year veteran and first-team All-Pro in 2021. Reports confirm that Campbell and the 49ers have agreed to a 1-year deal, marking a significant addition to the 49ers' defense.
