Pay Back: The 49ers Suspended De'Vondre Campbell For Quitting On The Team, Refuse To Cut Him So He Won't Get 'Rewarded' By Signing Somewhere Else

We saw what happened on Thursday night. If you somehow missed it, De'Vondre Campbell refused to go in the game after the 49ers started Dre Greenlaw. To put it nicely, he quit. He quit on the team, the franchise, every other player, however you want to say it. So now everyone waited to see 'De'Vondre Campbell has been cut by the 49ers.' A no-brainer. You had other guys talk about how shitty of a move it was, they were pissed. But that would be too easy. You see, the 49ers had other plans for some fair pay back: 

I don't know how the players union works or anything like that. I saw people saying this could be a lawsuit because they are purposely doing this to withhold pay and recoup some money. Fuck that. The dude refused to do his job. He refused to go in and play because his feelings were hurt. Why release him just so he can play for another team and keep getting paid? That's not a punishment. You ban them and give that money to some behind the scenes people as bonuses. 

I would pay a lot of money to see Lynch freaking out on him. It's not wrong that Lynch is usually composed and rarely shows any emotion in his front office role. But he's still a former player. You know he understands the locker room and dealing with the 49ers failing this year. Last thing he wants to deal with is a dude throwing a hissy fit because of a better player. I respect the move. You don't just cut a player who will get paid and a deal with someone else. Suspend him. He wants to quit on you, let him quit. Don't reward someone for that.
