Packers to Release Linebacker De'Vondre Campbell, Eyeing Cap Space for Free Agency

The Green Bay Packers are making strategic moves to increase salary cap space, including releasing former All-Pro linebacker De'Vondre Campbell and potentially left tackle David Bakhtiari.

• The Green Bay Packers will release linebacker De'Vondre Campbell when the new league year opens on Wednesday, aiming to save nearly $10.6 million in salary cap space.
• Campbell's departure is part of a broader strategy to create cap room for free agency, with the Packers also considering releasing left tackle David Bakhtiari.
• Injuries have limited Campbell's performance in recent seasons, leading to his release after a three-year stint with the team.
• The Packers are looking to re-sign several of their own free agents, including cornerback/returner Keisean Nixon, linebacker Eric Wilson, and tight end Tyler Davis.
• Green Bay's cap-saving measures are in preparation for being active in free agency, with the team aiming to build on a 9-8 season that included a playoff win.
