The Arizona Cardinals announced a very popular move on Tuesday, one that had the entire NFL talking. They agreed to terms with defensive lineman Calais Campbell on a one-year deal that returns him to the team that drafted him.
He intends on finishing his career with the team he began it with, but he will still make decent money.
Per multiple reports, first noted by ESPN's Adam Schefter, it is a one-year deal worth $5.5 million with a max of $7.5 million. It is a raise over what he made last season with the Miami Dolphins. In 2024, he played under a one-year, $2 million deal.
At age 38, he played in all 17 games, all starts, logging 615 snaps and amassing 52 total tackles, five sacks, 12 tackles for loss, 12 quarterback hits, five tipped passes and a forced fumble.
Campbell enters his 18th NFL season. He played nine for the Cardinals after he was drafted by them in the second round in 2008. He followed that with three seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars, three with the Baltimore Ravens and one season each with the Atlanta Falcons and Dolphins.
