GREEN BAY - The Green Bay Packers are confident inside linebacker De’Vondre Campbell will be able to help them this season.
The contract they gave the sixth-year free agent is for one-year, $2 million and includes a $1.01 million signing bonus, according to a league source. The Packers added four voidable years to cut his salary-cap number from $2 million to around $1.19 million in 2021.
There are also $500,000 in play-time incentives.
The size of the signing bonus indicates the Packers expect the 6-4, 232-pound Campbell to compete for a starting job. He has been a starter since entering the league with the Atlanta Falcons in 2016 and last year started all 16 games for Arizona, compiling 91 tackles, two sacks and three pass breakups.
