When it rains, it pours for the San Francisco 49ers.

This has been a season to forget.

Injuries, bad luck, and miscues on both sides of the football have plagued their otherwise promising season.

Things may have reached a new low on Thursday night.

Linebacker De’Vondre Campbell refused to enter the game, and his days with the organization seem numbered.

According to a report by Jay Glazer (via Ari Meirov), Niners GM John Lynch is working with the league to get a “max suspension” for Campbell.

He doesn’t want to release him and have him join another team to reward his actions.

As drastic as this might seem, the team has every right to do so.

This would finally be a precedent to stop players from taking this approach.

We often see players forcing their way off teams by refusing to show up.

They end up either getting traded or joining another team.

NFL players put their bodies through a lot, and they earn every single penny they make.

However, that’s only true as long as they play.

If Campbell wasn’t hurt, there was no reason for him not to take the field.

This has been the reflection of a Niners team that has usually caved into every single one of their player’s demands.

Lynch will have to draw a line in the sand and clearly communicate to his players that they will not tolerate any more antics.
