How John Lynch reacted to De’Vondre Campbell quitting on the 49ers
“John Lynch actually went down there in the fourth quarter and confronted him on saying you don’t want to go in the game,” Glazer said on-air. “You’re refusing? Yes. It was Lynch who sent him in the locker room.
“By the way, I got players who called me after and said, ‘Hey, we’ve heard you talk about this alter ego John Lynch, this 47 Red character. Man, we saw it. That dude is crazy.’ They all saw it firsthand.”

Report: 49ers likely to suspend De’Vondre Campbell for quitting on the team
“My understanding of how this happens, and it has not happened officially yet, is the 49ers are likely to suspend Campbell rather than just release him,” Rapoport said Sunday morning on NFL Gameday. “That is the expectation.”
Why not release the disgruntled linebacker outright?
“A couple reasons for that,” Rapport explained. “One, it prevents him from just going on waivers, getting claimed and signing with another team, playing out the rest of the season. Also, it would potentially allow them to claw back some of his $3.35 million signing bonus.”
