Calais Campbell Signs One-Year Deal with Cardinals

Calais Campbell, a six-time Pro Bowler, has signed a one-year contract worth $5.5 million with the Arizona Cardinals, returning to the team that drafted him in 2008. The deal, which can increase to $7.5 million with incentives, marks Campbell's 18th NFL season, having previously played for multiple teams, including the Ravens and Dolphins. His experience and leadership are expected to significantly bolster the Cardinals' revamped defensive line as they aim for a playoff push in the upcoming season. Campbell's durability and consistent performance at age 38 have made him a valuable asset, as he recorded 52 tackles and five sacks with the Dolphins last season. The Cardinals hope that Campbell’s presence will help mentor younger players and enhance their overall defensive capabilities. Following a disappointing 2024 season, the Cardinals are optimistic about returning to postseason contention.
