Packers releasing DeVondre Campbell

[BF004]

I personally would have liked to just cut him outright. I prefer us to just take our cap penalties now and get free of all these void years and penalties for players that won’t be on the roster.

I think we need a D-Line and defensive backfield that rivals what the Packers fielded in 2010 before we start feeling comfortable about releasing serviceable linebackers. In short.........our defense needs an injection of quality free agents. Remember Ryan Pickett, Cullen Jenkins and Howard Green?

Its basically no difference. We need to count money on the cap that we already paid him, the $$ don't change. Its just do it all now, or do some this year, some next year (with likely a higher cap). In a vacuum exactly the same with cap carryover, but gives us flexibility for this year if we so choose.

Tough to point at 2010 as the source over truth. Sure there was Clay, but matched with Frank Zombo, Brad Jones, Erik Walden on the other side and Cullen Jenkins, Ryan Pickett and Howard Green. Not a group you actively try to mimic. Sure they came together at the right time and all basically exceeded their baseline plays, but I would argue what we got now is better?

I mean you have two options:

1. Cut Campbell now and absorb all cap but then need to renogiate another contract
2. Cut Campbell now as a June 1 and not need to renogiate another contract

Either way we need to free up space to sign a safety and extend Love.

You have to realize that the Packers will have to carry Campbell's full cap hit until June 2 and won't benefit from the savings until then for the 2024 season.

Which mostly covers the rookie cap hits, so we can go right up against the cap instead of leaving room. The difference in Pre-June and Post-June cut is $8 million in 2024 cap space.

So conveniently not sign rookie contracts until June 3.

Problem solved.

Sucks because I like him but was the correct move

True, the Packers can use that cap space for this season but have to be aware that there's another $8 million counting against their cap in 2025.

His elite play window was short but, by god, it was good! Wish him the best!

[Labrev]

Campbell's one good year showed us the value of a quality LB where for years this org did not take the position seriously. I am glad we got that out of his time here.

What?? Bishop, Hawk, Zombo and Matthews were the LBs I remember. Not the stiffs that you mentioned.

Season opener featured Brad Jones and Clay outside with Hawk and Barnett inside. Jones and Barnett both ended up on IR.

He had one great year. For that it was all worth it. After that injuries and excuses. The dude stayed on Twitter just barking. Idk seemed like he was more about poor me instead of getting better. His SF remarks show the same stuff. They didn't use me right.

Good luck I guess

I saw some of the stuff he recently posted on X on FF. If what he says was going on then thank god Barry is gone!

I think everyone understood there was a visible disconnect between the defensive staff and players. Not surprising in the least.

Though what Campbell was saying has some merit, the dude is also being ridiculous.

"I was All Pro when I listened to myself and not the coaches. I fell off in 2022 and 2023 because I tried to play "team ball" for the benefit of the scheme"

"We started playing better down the stretch because I went to Matt and said we need to blitz more and we played better when we started listening to me"

Good lord dude. Make sure you head fits through the door. The real fact is he has been in the league for 8 seasons and has pretty much stunk for 7 of them. But man he was great in 2021.
