Dolphins Lose Campbell, Seek Defensive Replacements

The Miami Dolphins face challenges in bolstering their defensive line after losing veteran defensive end Calais Campbell to the Arizona Cardinals, who signed him for a one-year deal worth up to $7.5 million. Despite having the cap space to potentially match this offer, the Dolphins were unable to retain Campbell, who was a key player last season. The team is now considering free agent options like DeMarcus Walker, Emmanuel Ogbah, and Carl Lawson to fill the gap. Meanwhile, the Dolphins have signed safety Ifeatu Melifonwu from the Lions, who is expected to add versatility to their defense. Additionally, offensive lineman Terron Armstead is contemplating his future with the team amidst ongoing injury concerns, leaving his status uncertain for the next season. The Dolphins are also exploring draft options to strengthen their defensive line, with several top prospects potentially available for their 13th pick.
