“Someone is about to get a great football player that’s been badly misused,” said Campbell on social media.

Based on his recent activity on social media, it appears that former Green Bay Packers  linebacker De’Vondre Campbell is holding some animosity toward the organization after being released from his five-year, $50 million contract this offseason. Earlier this week, he posted, “Someone is about to get a great football player that’s been badly misused. O well let’s get it though,” to his Instagram page.






via Campbell’s Instagram page




As The Athletic’s Matt Schneidman noted on Twitter/X , Campbell had previously praised the Packers’ defensive coaching staff for allowing him to play a singular role in the team’s defense following his First-Team All-Pro season in 2021. After that year, his first with the Packers, he signed his long-term extension with the team.


The following is what Campbell had to say at the time, via Schneidman:



I was like, the only way I will come is if you let me do this and only this. I don’t want play SAM, MIKE and WILL ... I had one job responsibility here that allowed me to excel week-in and week-out rather than going into a game plan where you’re playing three or four different positions



A visit down the road of Campbell’s likes on Twitter/X also shows the following post, which claims that the Packers are “the worst team on how they treat the player’s on their way out”:








This isn’t the first time that Campbell has made noise on social media, as claimed that he was no longer going to play through injuries for the Packers during the 2023 regular season :



Not going out my way anymore and I’m not playing through injuries anymore cause when s*** goes wrong they always use it against you. I’m treating everyone accordingly and giving them the same energy they giving me. Focus on yourself and your mental 59 you owe it to yourself



Following that incident, Campbell claimed that he was “not talking about nothing that happened on the internet ” and never addressed those comments any further. In Weeks 16 and 17, the two weeks after Campbell’s statement, he was an inactive in two consecutive Packers wins. When he returned to the lineup in Week 17 and the playoffs, he was used as a rotational player who often played passing downs opposite of Quay Walker while Isaiah McDuffie was used as a run downs linebacker — a role that defensive coordinator Joe Barry, who coached Campbell during his entire Packers career, had previously not deployed during his time in Green Bay.


So don’t expect Campbell to come around Dairyland very much in his post-Packers career, as he seems to hold a good amount of frustration about how his time in Green Bay ended. Campbell has signed with his fourth team in his NFL career this offseason, joining the San Francisco 49ers  on a one-year contract.

And then to give someone else $12 million per year and not him... while only offerings him, $4 million base with the potential to earn $2 million more. He should be mad.

Of course, what Jones ended up signing was $6 million base and potential to earn $1 million more, so Packers were a lot closer to Jones's market than I realized. I'm surprised he didn't get $9 million.

========================


As far as Campbell, I don't understand how he was misused, I understand he wants to be just the Mike (MLB) LB and he was in 2021... did that change in 2022 and 2023? Or how was he misused?

I know the Falcons used him as the coverage LB, which he can do, but his strength is the MLB, which now more of the LBers are out of FA and the draft doesn't have a lot of top talented MLB. So I'm guessing it's McDuffie's to lose now.

Aaron Jones could very well be upset with the Packers. It's one of those situations where I understand why the team did what they did. I can also understand the view from Jones too. Personally, I think they should have cranked up the incentives for Jones on his offer.

But as this is about Campbell. He's been vocal here and his last stop. It reminds me of Zadarius a bit.

I wonder if the Packers would of agreed to the deal Jones signed.... both without the new RB, and also with the new RB.

Sick of Jones always being hurt. A year too early.

I heard a podcaster say that he finds it interesting the fan base complains the organization doesn't treat the players fair when it's a favorite who is released but nothing is wrong when a player that they have been screaming to get rid of for a couple of years is finally sent packing.

That 21 Tweet tirade says a lot more about Campbell than the Packers. We should remember he said the same thing about the Falcons. He came to Green Bay saying it's nice to be on a team that knows how to use him. Saying all of his great plays were him deviating from the scheme? Saying any bad grade was someone else's fault? After all that then complaining the Packers didn't even ask him to take pay cut? Seriously? What an odd dude. Especially after his tirade about not playing while hurt anymore. Yeah, that's the kind of person you want on your roster.
