The San Francisco 49ers’ keen interest in linebacker De’Vondre Campbell has resulted in a mutual agreement.
A recent report indicated the 49ers’ desire to add Campbell to their roster, and according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, the two parties have reached a deal. The agreement is for a one-year contract for the former Green Bay Packer.
Campbell was released by Green Bay earlier this month, meaning his signing will not impact the NFL’s compensatory draft pick policy.
The move comes shortly after the 49ers’ verbal agreement with Eric Kendricks fell through, leaving the team in need of another experienced linebacker.
With five years of experience in Atlanta and three years with the Packers, Campbell brings a wealth of expertise to the table. He is expected to provide valuable support in the absence of Dre Greenlaw, who is recovering from a torn Achilles suffered in the 49ers’ Super Bowl loss to the Chiefs.
