Calais Campbell Returns to Cardinals on One-Year Contract

Veteran defensive lineman Calais Campbell has signed a one-year contract with the Arizona Cardinals, returning to the team where he began his NFL career in 2008 and played for nine seasons. Campbell, 38, played last season with the Miami Dolphins, achieving 52 tackles and five sacks, and has been recognized as a six-time Pro Bowler and the 2019 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year. The deal, worth $5.5 million with potential bonuses increasing its value to $7.5 million, aims to strengthen Arizona's defensive line, which has undergone significant changes in the offseason. Despite his age, Campbell remains a durable and productive player, having missed only 15 games in his 17-season career. His return to the Cardinals is expected to enhance both the team's defensive capabilities and veteran leadership, as the Cardinals aim for a playoff push. Sources confirm the signing, with ESPN's Adam Schefter providing detailed insights into the contract and Campbell's career accomplishments.
