The cardinals bring back Calais Campbell

The cardinals worked on the construction of their defensive line all the offseason and adds the part which not only will invigorate the unit but also the base of fans.

Veteran Calais Campbell, who spent the first nine years of his career in Arizona after the cardinals wrote him in the second round in 2008, accepted a one -year contract to return to the desert on Tuesday.

The contract would be $ 5.5 million, with a maximum value of $ 7.5 million

Campbell, who will be 39 years old in September, started the 17 games for the Dolphins in 2024. He did the same for the Falcons in 2023, and during his 17 years of career, the sustainable Campbell only missed 15 games.

The 6 inch 8 inch and 305 pounds was a recruit for the team of the Cardinals Super Bowl in 2008. He accumulated 56.5 bags, 42 deviations of passes and eight forced escaped in 138 games in Arizona. He left as free agent in 2017, the cardinals wrongly thinking that Robert Nkemdiche could fulfill his role.

Campbell did the Pro Bowl in three seasons with Jacksonville, before playing with Baltimore for three seasons before his move to Atlanta. Since he left the Cardinals, Campbell has 54 other bags.

For dolphins in 2024, Campbell had five bags and 12 plated for the loss playing 58% of defensive shots – work which, despite his age, made him a precious addition to the defense of Nick Rallis.

Campbell joins a defensive line which has just received a large upgrade with the free agent Dalvin Tomlinson to go with the veterans Justin Jones, Bilal Nichols and Lj Necklace as well as the recruits of Darius Robinson and Dante Stills.
