San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan has admitted signing De’Vondre Campbell was a ‘mistake’ after the linebacker was suspended for the season over his refusal to play last week.<\/p>\n

\n

During their 12-6 defeat to the Los Angeles Rams last Thursday,\u00a0Campbell refused to enter the game when called upon by Shanahan in an astonishing defiance of orders.<\/p>\n

Instead of taking to the field at Levi’s Stadium, the 31-year-old quit on his team and left the sidelines to head back to the locker room, sparking anger in the Niners locker room.<\/p>\n

Furious San Francisco officials responded by suspending him for the season, marking a disastrous end to his debut campaign with the team after arriving on a one-year deal back in March.<\/p>\n

And despite stressing that they did their homework on him, Shanahan has conceded that the Niners should never have signed Campbell in the first place.’<\/p>\n

‘I was with De\u2019Vondre his rookie year in Atlanta, so I knew what he was capable of,’ he said. ‘Not that I was real close with the defensive guys, being the offensive coordinator there, but I know we liked him in that building.<\/p>\n

‘I know a lot of guys who have coached him who have been good. And we obviously made a mistake.<\/p>\n

‘It\u2019s not something that we didn\u2019t look into. We look into everything. You weigh the risk-reward of stuff. You weigh the situation that you have and what decision you can make in terms of the options. By no means was it our first option.<\/p>\n

‘But at the time, with what went down, we thought it was our best option. And it didn\u2019t work out.’<\/p>\n

As expected the Niners handed down the punishment Monday, slapping Campbell with a three-game suspension, meaning his season is now over.<\/p>\n

However, the team appears to have taken their exiling a step further after clearing his possessions out of the locker room, according to ESPN’s Nick Wagoner.<\/p>\n

Campbell’s locker has been emptied out and his name plate removed, Wagoner reported earlier this week.<\/p>\n

By suspending the player rather than waiving him, San Francisco are denying him the chance to sign elsewhere for the remainder of the season.<\/p>\n

They reportedly felt that releasing Campbell and allowing him to join another team would be a ‘reward.’<\/p>\n

‘We have suspended De’Vondre Campbell Sr. for three games due to conduct detrimental to the team,’ general manager John Lynch said Monday. ‘We will have no further comment on the matter.’<\/p>\n

Teams have the ability to suspend players up to four games without pay for conduct detrimental to the team, according to the Collective Bargaining Agreement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
