#Packers ILB De'Vondre Campbell is a first-team selection based on the fact AP asked for each person to nominate three linebackers. But I need to verify that. He finished third.

#Packers WR Davante Adams was one of five players who was a unanimous choice for AP all-pro. QB Aaron Rodgers was the quarterback, outdueling Tom Brady, 34-16. It may signal how MVP vote goes.

It is believed this is the 1st All-Pro selection at ILB for the #Packers since Ray Nitschke
Incredible honor for Campbell.
Thanks Gute. 
Disagree with Tom about it may be a signal of the MVP vote. It's a clear indication of where that one is headed.
Agree. Per Ryan Wood, this is the 4th All-Pro for Rodgers. Every time in the history he's gotten the MVP, it co-insides with the All-Pro selection.
MARK IT DOWN!
spelling police (only out of love for Ray): Nitschke
good on Campbell

Thanks Gute.
I was curious but not thorough, there could be others, but I see Ted Hendricks was all-pro in 1974 at LB

Price just went up. Inflation sucks.
Wait, not Kirk Cousins?
What a story for Campbell. He's on his way to a Kurt Warner-like story.
Accoding to Objective Bearsfans it was going to be Justin Fields. What the hell happened? 
First team All-Pro De’Vondre Campbell accounts for 1.07% of the Packers’ 2021 salary cap.

That's what you call a bargain. Guy went from basically the scrap heap to first team All-Pro.
Update: Packers make this reference official...
Getting the recognition he deserves! Check the tape ✊🏾 @Came_Along_Way https://t.co/qiN6dlTjFA

the stork!
I only saw LB listed on the site I was at, was not broken out. Will let the guys that get paid to do this sort it out 
I couldn't quite figure out why Campbell was on the street until June. His numbers weren't horrible with the Falcons and Cards. He was pretty average but not bad.
Good thing Gorp signed him to a one year flyer contract knowing he was an all-pro. Things just got a bit more expensive.
Hometown discount as a thank you for saving his career? Maybe? Possibly? Sigh.

Well, he did have 10 bucks remaining on the cap. No excuse for Gorp's (Gorp?) actions.
They got him for a bargain, it will even out with the new contract. My guess is ballpark of $12M-$14M per year it will take to keep him. He will be 29 July 1, he will be looking for a big contract. Packers will have some tough decisions to make...the added cost of Campbell probably makes Z even more likely of a casualty.
There is no such thing as a hometown discount. Ever.
Hence the sigh.

Yes, the bargain shopping for ILB years on end and clearly stated position that ILB didn't matter weighs into a garbage flyer contract on an all pro.
Pretty sure he had a lot more cap to play with for an all pro.

I think we'll lose them both. Our cap situation next year is so ugly.
Well this should solidify Aaron Rodgers as MVP over Brady since this is the same group that votes for MVP. I would suspect he easily beats Taylor, the only question mark is how many people voted for Kupp since he was unanimous.
@Goalline posted:I think we'll lose them both. Our cap situation next year is so ugly.
We don't know for sure at this point. Depends on what Rodgers does. Plus, doesn't that cap go up 22 million? I can't imagine Campbell would break the bank after one stellar season.
Rasul Douglas would be more of a cap hit simply because of being a CB. I wouldn't be surprised if other teams drive up the price.

Give Rasul's King's money....
And injuries probably robbed us of a couple more All_Pros. Jenkins and Alexander to be exact.
@Henry posted:No shit. I've wondered if Rasul and Campbell really benefitted from Matt Foley's offense but King has been a turd as usual.
Saw a lot of speculation that Rasul Douglas would be named 2nd team All Pro. And really, his numbers and performance would have backed that up...
So O K maybe three. I was looking at injuries that occured this season.
@YATittle posted:Give Rasul's King's money....
What money? King only signed a one year contract, he counts zero against the cap next year
@YooperPackfan posted:What money? King only signed a one year contract, he counts zero against the cap next year
I believe he was making $5-$6 million this year.... If he's not on the team, those funds can be spent on a more productive CB.
@YooperPackfan posted:What money? King only signed a one year contract, he counts zero against the cap next year
No, he counts $3 million on the 2022 cap. They did voidable years to spread the contract over multiple years. He only counted $2 million in 2021.
Campbell and Douglas are going to get paid and it won't be the Packers, that is what happens when you sign vets to one year deals and they have career years. I am just stoked they had them this year.
King getting $6 was mind blowing to most around here. Obviously they didn't know what they had in Stokes and he was their best option at the time. From what I saw, he has played marginally better when he wasn't hurt, but nothing close to $6m
Congrats to Campbell and Adams, they deserve it.

See @GratefulPack post above. THAT!
Congrats to Rodgers, Adams and Campbell. Hopefully Campbell's play has opened front office eyes what an ILB should look like (yes, it's been so long). Assignment-sure, fast, can cover, good tackler. He will make some money next year, along with Douglas and D. Adams. I don't think the Packers will be the ones paying, given their cap situation and their respective ages. Just get draft pick compensation as high-priced FAs.
