As Nick Bosa said after Week 15, the Niners are ‘going to find out who wants to be here the next few weeks.’<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The 49ers are all but eliminated from the playoffs, so making these five roster moves to close out the season would be wise.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Mathematically, the San Francisco 49ers aren’t quite eliminated from postseason contention just yet, even though their 12-6 Thursday Night Football<\/em> defeat at the hands of the Los Angeles Rams effectively just ended the Niners’ hopes of playing deep into January.<\/p>\n

Head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters on Monday that he’d worry about 2025 once 2025 rolls around, but San Francisco can essentially start a lot of that prep work now over its final three games of the season.<\/p>\n

And that can all start with some fairly easy-to-grasp roster transactions and depth-chart moves.<\/p>\n

No. 1: Release LB De’Vondre Campbell<\/h2>\n

This one is straightforward, expected and imminent.<\/p>\n

After refusing to enter the game in the third quarter when linebacker Dre Greenlaw was dealing with a minor injury, Campbell subsequently walked off the field and into the locker room, more or less quitting on his team and teammates.<\/p>\n

The 2021 All-Pro received harsh words of criticism from teammates, coaches and NFL analysts alike in the immediate aftermath, and Shanahan all but confirmed Campbell wouldn’t be on the roster by the time Week 16 rolls around.<\/p>\n
