De’Vondre Campbell turned heads and made headlines in late 2024 when he essentially quit the San Francisco 49ers after a game against the Green Bay Packers. A few months have passed since that incident, and for the first time, Campbell has chosen to speak out about his current status, seemingly done with football altogether.
In a candid social media rant, Campbell expressed his sentiment, stating, “I ain’t addressing ****,” via Pro Football Talk, adding that he told Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch he was “rich and never [had] to work another day” after they FaceTimed him, pleading for him to return just an hour after he was cut by Green Bay. These strong words indicate that Campbell has solidified his stance on his future.
Having enjoyed a nine-year NFL career with stints in San Francisco, Green Bay, and the Atlanta Falcons—where he started his career and was part of the 2016 team that reached Super Bowl LI—Campbell has now reached his breaking point. According to Spotrac, he has earned nearly $40 million during his time in the NFL, which reinforces his assertion of financial security. It certainly is a pity that things ended this way with the Niners.
