De’Vondre Campbell wasn’t going to play again for the San Francisco 49ers after he quit on the team and refused to enter the game last week against the Los Angeles Rams.
We know now the 49ers will suspend Campbell for the remainder of the season following a statement from general manager John Lynch.
“We have suspended De’Vondre Campbell Sr. for three games due to conduct detrimental to the team,” Lynch said in the statement. “We will have no further comment on the matter.”
The reason the 49ers have suspended Campbell instead of cutting him is to block him from joining any other team for the rest of this season. Teams can suspend players up to four games for detrimental conduct.
The suspension will cost Campbell $261,666 in salary and bonuses, according to Spotrac, and the team can go after $111,666 of his $3.35 million signing bonus. Campbell, who is 31 years old and a nine-year NFL veteran, was on a one-year, $5 million deal with the 49ers.
