One of the more surprising events of the last few seasons was San Francisco 49ers linebacker De'Vondre Campbell deciding to not play anymore during an actual game. Campbell made headlines by literally walking out on his team during the third quarter of their Week 15 game against the Los Angeles Rams.

The Niners will likely be looking for a fringe starter that can also provide valuable depth in free agency. Bleacher Report believes that Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Troy Dye is the perfect fit for their opening.

"Dye is a good backup option on the second level, as he's served in that role and contributed on special teams throughout his career. Also, the 28-year-old fits the mold of what the organization covets at the position as an athletic backer."

Dye is in the midst of a career year, as he's totaled 47 tackles, two tackles for a loss and 1.5 sacks this season with three games left.
