The San Francisco 49ers have officially parted ways with linebacker De’Vondre Campbell. After refusing to play in Thursday's game against the Rams, Campbell was suspended for three games. The team took further action by clearing out his locker and removing his nameplate. This move isn't just about the suspension; it's also about preventing him from playing for another team. Players like tight end George Kittle and cornerback Charvarius Ward had already expressed their displeasure after the loss to the Rams. Now, more players are sharing their opinions. Defensive end Nick Bosa mentioned that Campbell was complaining before the game, and Bosa considered intervening but didn't want to cause more trouble. Cornerback Deommodore Lenoir was harsh in his assessment, saying he lost all respect for Campbell. Lenoir believes that if a player isn't fully committed, they become a negative influence on the team. Campbell hasn't offered his side of the story, which is puzzling. It's now clear that Campbell won't play again this season, unless he files an emergency grievance to challenge the suspension. This situation highlights the importance of team unity and the consequences of not being fully committed.
