Per Ian Rapoport with the NFL Network, the 49ers signed Campbell to a one-year deal. The 49ers signed Campbell after losing Dre Greenlaw to an Achilles injury during the Super Bowl. Greenlaw is set to have Achilles surgery, and the 49ers needed a linebacker to start the 2024 season.

At 30, Campbell will provide veteran experience for a team looking to return to the Super Bowl. He earned a Pro Bowl appearance for the 2021 season and has 779 tackles, 9.5 sacks, and seven interceptions in his eight-year NFL career.
The Atlanta Falcons drafted Campbell in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft. He played with the Arizona Cardinals in 2020 before signing with the Packers ahead of the 2021 season.
