The veteran linebacker will be released by the Packers when the new league year begins on Wednesday, as confirmed by a source to ESPN. This marks the conclusion of his three-year tenure with the team.
Campbell, who was slated to earn $10.75 million this season, including a $2.9 million roster bonus scheduled for this Friday, will not receive these payments as a result of being cut before the due date. The Packers stand to save $10.57 million on this year’s salary cap if they designate him as a post-June 1 cut. Even if they don’t, they will still realize a savings of $2.6 million on the cap. Originally, his cap charge for this season was set at $14.2 million. However, with his release, he will now contribute $11.63 million in dead money (or $3.66 million if treated as a post-June 1 cut).
