49ers’ De’Vondre Campbell Defends Actions in Profane Social Media Rant

The linebacker addressed his mid-game refusal to play and subsequent suspension, lashing out at critics and former teammates.

De’Vondre Campbell refused to play during the 49ers' Week 15 game against the Rams after losing his starting role to a returning Dre Greenlaw.
The 49ers suspended Campbell for three games, citing conduct detrimental to the team, which also blocked him from signing with another team during that period.
In a series of explicit social media posts, Campbell criticized fans, former teammates, and media analysts for their comments on the incident.
Campbell claimed he plays football by choice, emphasizing his financial independence and alleging that the 49ers' management had begged him to join the team.
The controversy casts doubt on Campbell's future in the NFL, as his actions and statements may deter teams from pursuing him in free agency.
