Packers linebacker De’Vondre Campbell said it was a “dream come true” to return to Green Bay after an All-Pro season. Campbell cashed in with his first big contract since entering the league in 2016 when he signed a five-year deal worth $50 million at the start of free agency. Last season, Campbell led the Packers with 146 tackles and added two interceptions and two sacks in 16 starts.
“Finally found an organization that saw my skillset and realized what I can bring to the team for years to come,” Campbell said Wednesday.
Campbell talked about how good it was to have some security again after spending one season with the Arizona Cardinals. After starting 16 games for the Cardinals in 2020, Campbell remained a free agent until June of the following offseason. No one thought much of it when the Packers then reached a one-year deal with the former the fourth-round pick, who was expected to compete for snaps at a weak spot on the defense.
