Campbell, 30, is an eight-year NFL veteran who played four years with the Atlanta Falcons and one in Arizona before playing the past three seasons with the Packers.

Campbell would join three-time All-Pro Fred Warner and Greenlaw as the team's top three linebackers. In his career, Campbell has 110 starts in the 115 games in which he appeared. He missed seven games last season...
