Campbell returns to the team he began his career with for his 18th season.</p><p>The 38-year-old defensive lineman joins the Cardinals <a href="https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1907177576730378553" rel="noopener">on a one-year deal</a>, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. After playing for the Jacksonville Jaguars, Baltimore Ravens, Atlanta Falcons, and Dolphins in previous years, Calais Campbell heads back to Arizona to play for the Cardinals for the first time since the 2016 season.</p><p>“ESPN sources: Six-time Pro-Bowl defensive lineman Calais Campbell is finalizing a one-year deal to return to the Arizona Cardinals. Campbell was the Cardinals’ 2008 second-round pick, played in Arizona until 2016, and now will return there for his 18th NFL season.”</p><p>The one-year contract Calais Campbell signed <a href="https://x.com/TomPelissero/status/1907178594444689729" rel="noopener">is a $5.5 million deal</a>, per Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. Campell has an opportunity to make up to $7.5 million with incentives.</p><p>“Compensation update: The Cardinals are bringing back Calais Campbell on a one-year, $5.5 million deal with a max value of $7.5M, per source. Still playing, and making money, at age 38.”</p><p>Although Campbell is entering his 18th season in the NFL his level of play has not altered. During his one-year stint with the Dolphins, the six-time Pro Bowler recorded 52 combined tackles (35 solo), five sacks, and a forced fumble.</p><p>The Cardinals hope to get that kind of production out of the wily veteran in the 2025 season to provide a boost to the defensive line. As a team, Arizona had the <a href="https://www.foxsports.com/articles/nfl/2024-nfl-defense-rankings-team-pass-and-rush-stats" rel="noopener">No. 21 ranked defensive</a>, allowing an average of 342.5 yards of total offense per game. The team was in the middle of the pack in terms of sacking the opposing quarterback, finishing with campaign with 41 total sacks.</p><p>Bringing in Calais Campbell not only provides consistency at the defensive line but his experience makes him vital for any young edge rushers on the roster. The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/arizona-cardinals/cardinals-news-bolster-defense-29-million-dalvin-tomlinson-free-agency">Cardinals will pair Campbell with Dalvin Tomlinson</a> who they signed in free agency.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Calais Campbell, who signed with the team during free agency, is a vet in the league who has never won a Super Bowl, and the Dolphins want to give him that opportunity.</p><p>Campbell noted that he had a conversation with general manager Chris Grier, and they discussed him <a href="https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/nfl/miami-dolphins/article297312444.html" rel="noopener">possibly joining a playoff contender</a> if they don’t make it themselves, according to Dolphins reporter Barry Jackson.</p><p>“Weeks back, before the trade deadline, there was a small conversation you really didn’t hope would ever even become a thing,” Campbell said via Jackson. “It was just something to talk about, nothing concrete. I don’t know if we’re there just yet. It’s definitely something you think about. A lot of moving parts. We’re kind of staying in the moment. [But] it’s definitely something you have to think about.”</p><p>Campbell could help a team looking to improve their defensive line during a playoff run. He was close to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-rumors-mike-mcdaniel-reason-calais-campbell-wasnt-traded-ravens">getting traded to the Baltimore Ravens</a> before the trade deadline, but head coach Mike McDaniel convinced them not to do it.</p><p>“At the end of the day, there’s no wrong decision,” Campbell said. “In this business, they rarely involve the player in any decisions. You show up, be professional and be the best player you can. I came here to the Dolphins with a year long commitment to go out and compete and try to make the playoffs. That job is definitely not done yet. We still have a shot.”</p><p>Campbell probably doesn’t have many years left in the league, and if he’s able to get any opportunity for a chance to win a ring, he should take it.</p><h2>Dolphins in must-win mode</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Calais-Campbell.jpg"><figcaption>Kirby Lee-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Dolphins are 6-8 and second in the AFC West, but it’s going to be a tall task for them to make the playoffs. If they want any chance of punching a ticket in, they’re going to have to win the last three games. This upcoming week they have the San Francisco 49ers, another team that’s looking to get into the playoffs late into the season.</p><p>Their last two games consist of the Cleveland Browns and the New York Jets, which are both winnable, but it’s been hard for the Dolphins to get those games this season. Calais Campbell might not have to join another team if the Dolphins are able to take care of business.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

After falling to 2-6, every game counts for Miami. And the Dolphins have looked like contenders since quarterback <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dolphins-news-tua-tagovailoa-to-return-vs-cardinals-after-clearing-concussion-protocol">Tua Tagovailoa’s return from the IR</a> in Week 8. However, the team failed to improve its playoff chances on Thursday night after getting dominated by the Green Bay Packers 30-17.</p><p>After the game, Dolphins’ defensive leader Calais Campbell <a href="https://x.com/Marcel_LJ/status/1862360013458591756" rel="noopener">lamented</a> the 20 tackles Miami missed in Week 13, per ESPN’s Marcel Louis-Jacques on X. “That’s the game, right there… When we have opportunities to make tackles in critical situations, we have to make plays,” Campbell said.</p><p>“If we’re playing our best ball, we can beat anybody. But today was definitely <a href="https://x.com/AdamHBeasley/status/1862360748174770231" rel="noopener">not our best</a> ball,” Campbell added, via Pro Football Network’s Adam Beasley.</p><p>Although the 17th-year veteran has lost a step since winning Defensive Player of the Year in 2017 as a member of the Jacksonville Jaguars, he’s still an important contributor to the Dolphins’ defense. The team had an opportunity to trade the 38-year-old defensive tackle to the Baltimore Ravens but head coach <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dolphins-news-mike-mcdaniel-temper-tantrum-admission-calais-campbell-trade-talks">Mike McDaniel fought hard</a> to keep the six-time Pro Bowler, believing Miami can make a postseason run and recognizing the role Campbell would play in that process.</p><h2><b>Calais Campbell and the Dolphins’ defense came up short in Week 13</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Calais-Campbell-2.jpg"><figcaption>Sam Navarro-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Miami’s defense has been solid overall this season. The team ranks inside the top nine in the league against both the pass and the run. However, the Dolphins have not consistently gotten to the quarterback in 2024, ranking 28th with just 21 sacks through 12 games.</p><p>That weakness once again reared its head in Miami’s Thanksgiving night matchup against the Packers. Green Bay quarterback Jordan Love operated with impunity for most of the contest. He completed 21/28 passes for 274 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. And the Dolphins failed to sack Love a single time.</p><p>The lack of pressure allowed the fifth-year passer to pick apart Miami’s defense, averaging an exceptional 9.8 yards per attempt. While the Dolphins were successful at stymying Josh Jacobs, holding the All-Pro RB to just 2.3 yards per attempt, the Packers racked up 114 total rushing yards and Jacobs punched in a goal line score in the first quarter.</p><p>Tagovailoa was forced to air it out as the contest got out of hand quickly with Green Bay taking a 24-3 lead into halftime. He completed 37 passes for 365 yards and two scores with no turnovers. After going 3-2 in five starts since returning from a four-game absence <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dolphins-news-miami-placing-tua-tagovailoa-on-ir-with-concussion">due to another concussion</a>, Tagovailoa wasn’t able to rally the Dolphins in Week 13.</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/packers-news-jaire-alexander-among-3-players-ruled-out-for-dolphins-clash">Packers were without three key players</a> Thursday night. The defense was missing cornerback Jaire Alexander and linebacker Edgerrin Cooper while wideout Romeo Doubs was also sidelined. Despite playing shorthanded, Green Bay got the win, improving to 9-3 and keeping pace with a highly-competitive NFC North.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He did not throw general manager Chris Grier under the bus but confessed that he resorted to <a href="https://x.com/DavidFurones_/status/1860805586511642896" rel="noopener">somewhat desperate measures</a> to ensure that Campbell stayed in the Magic City.</p><p>“It wasn’t like it was Chris versus me,” McDaniel told the media after the game, per the Sun Sentinel’s David Furones. “It’s more that Chris looks at {it} the way I do, where we work together. And I may or may not have thrown an adult temper tantrum. That’s the tricky thing about Chris’ job. He has to look long-term and short-term at the same time {thinking} what’s the best for the organization.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Mike McDaniel said he “may have thrown an adult temper tantrum” over the thought of trading Calais Campbell at the deadline.</p><p>But it wasn’t a him vs. Chris Grier thing. He explains what went down with the Ravens making an offer. <a href="https://t.co/sTwAloUBCk">pic.twitter.com/sTwAloUBCk</a></p><p>— David Furones (@DavidFurones_) <a href="https://twitter.com/DavidFurones_/status/1860805586511642896?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 24, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><h2><b>Dolphins gaining steam in second half of season</b></h2><p>Most 2-6 teams would jump at the chance to trade a 38-year-old player for a draft pick, but McDaniel decided to vocalize his objection to a potential Campbell deal. His foresight is now being rewarded. The 2019 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year has four sacks, one forced fumble, 34 combined tackles, nine tackles for loss and five passes defensed through 11 games for Miami.</p><p>Despite a quiet outing versus the Patriots, Campbell’s impact has been sizable this season. It is only being amplified since the Dolphins got back their star quarterback. Tua Tagovailoa continues to give a formerly frail offense new life, tossing for 317 yards and four touchdowns in front of the home crowd at Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday afternoon. With playmakers on both sides of the ball, this group is starting to pose a legitimate threat in the AFC playoff race.</p><p>The ascent is going to get more arduous starting on Thanksgiving, though, as the Dolphins head to Lambeau Field to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dolphins-news-tua-tagovailoa-prime-time-warning-packers">face off with the Green Bay Packers</a> (8-3). Calais Campbell aims to further validate McDaniel’s endorsement when he sets his sights on Jordan Love.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dolphins-news-tua-tagovailoa-protector-game-time-decision-2nd-straight-week">Miami Dolphins</a>, with a 2-6 record at the time, were believed to be sellers, but their head coach Mike McDaniel didn’t see it that way.</p><p>While the Dolphins were struggling, they were in the process of getting healthy, particularly with star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa nearing a return from his latest concussion. However, the Baltimore Ravens were interested in reuniting with <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dolphins-news-calais-campbell-drops-truth-bomb-after-miami-falls-to-2-5">veteran defensive lineman Calais Campbell</a>, and for a point in time, it seemed like a deal would be reached. That was, however, until McDaniel <a href="https://www.nfl.com/news/dolphins-hc-mike-mcdaniel-nixed-calais-campbell-deal-to-ravens-ahead-of-nov-5-trade-deadline" rel="noopener">stepped in and shot it down</a>.</p><p>“Yet as the deal got closer, sources say, the Dolphins resisted,” Ian Rapoport said via NFL.com. “At various points over a hectic two days before the deadline, sources involved believed a deal was getting done and Campbell would return to Baltimore. That is until Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel stepped in. Sources say McDaniel stopped the deal, believing that Campbell was too valuable to lose. McDaniel told Campbell this to his face in a meeting.”</p><h2><b>Mike McDaniel hoping Calais Campbell can aid Dolphins playoff push</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Mike-McDaniel_a423fe.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Gary A. Vasquez-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>On the surface, it would have made sense for the Dolphins to send Campbell to the Ravens in an effort to pick up some draft capital. But McDaniel believed he could turn the team around, especially with Tagovailoa returning to action. Keeping Campbell around has certainly helped, as he has 33 tackles, four sacks, five passes defended, and a forced fumble through the team’s first 10 games.</p><p>After winning their past two games, McDaniel and the Dolphins are figuring things out, and they have a great chance to make it three straight wins when they take on the New England Patriots in Week 12. And if they do end up going on a playoff run down the stretch of the season, McDaniel’s refusal to move Campbell could end up being viewed as a turning point for this team.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

For him to put handcuffs on me, I felt some kind of way. But that just goes to show our resilience, though. We didn’t let that stop us… But that was definitely an interesting way to start a ballgame.</p><p>“That was a first,” he continued. “I saw Tyreek getting apprehended.

Last season, Campbell started every game for the Falcons, leading the team with 6.5 sacks. He also racked up 10 tackles for loss, 17 quarterback hits, and 56 total tackles, making it his most impactful season since 2019.</p><p>After considering retirement in previous seasons, Campbell is now set to join his fifth NFL team as he heads back to Florida, where he enjoyed considerable success with the Jaguars from 2017 to 2019.

His addition to the Dolphins’ defense brings valuable veteran experience and pass-rushing prowess to a team striving for a third consecutive playoff appearance. Given the team’s potential and Campbell’s leadership qualities, he could be the key factor in unlocking their full capabilities.</p><p>Campbell, who will turn 38 on September 1, was recognized as a member of the NFL’s all-decade team for the 2010s and was a six-time Pro-bowler. He also earned the prestigious Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award in 2019.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He has won multiple awards from the Pro Football Writers of America.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">NFL</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>While many of the NFL’s veteran free-agent stars have already signed contracts for the 2024 season, defensive end Calais Campbell remains available.</p><p>The 37-year-old Campbell has enjoyed a long and productive career in the NFL, having played nine years with the Arizona Cardinals, three years with the Baltimore Ravens, three seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars and the 2023 season with the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cardinals-news-desmond-ridder-gets-brutally-honest-on-why-he-failed-with-falcons">Atlanta Falcons</a>.</p><p>Atlanta head coach Raheem Morris characterized the veteran defensive end’s season with the Falcons as a success, and he says that bringing him back to the Falcons remains a possibility.</p><p>“I look forward to get[ting] a chance to sit in front of him because he’s certainly as impressive as it gets when it comes to football character,” <a href="https://www.ajc.com/sports/reporters-notebook-door-open-for-calais-campbell-return/6HUCG2MDGRCCXECLTB5PLSAD6A/">Morris told</a> the <i>Atlanta Journal-Constitution</i>. “He’s had as an impressive of a career that you can have. . . . I’m looking [forward] to discussing that in further detail with him at a later date.”</p><p>Campbell played in all 17 games for the Falcons last year, and he finished the season with 56 tackles, 6.5 sacks, 10 tackles for loss, 1 forced fumble, 1 fumble recovery and he was also credited with 1 safety.</p><p>Campbell is a 6-time Pro Bowl performer and also earned one first-team, All-Pro spot. He was the 2017 Pro Football Writers of America Defensive Player of the Year.</p><p>Campbell had 14.5 sacks that season while playing for the Jaguars that season. He also had 67 tackles, 14 tackles for loss, 3 passes batted down, 3 forced fumbles and 1 fumble recovery.</p><h2><b>Salary issues for Campbell and Falcons</b></h2><p>It’s clear that finances will have a huge impact on Campbell’s next contract. He had a cap hit of $7 million last year with <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/falcons-news-kirk-cousins-sets-the-record-straight-kyle-pitts-jersey-number-swap">the Falcons</a>, as he earned $4 million in salary and also received a $3 million signing bonus.</p><p>At this point in his career, it may be hard for the Falcons to justify a similar salary for the upcoming season. The adjusted salary cap for 2024 is $260 million, and the Falcons already have <a href="https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/atlanta-falcons/cap/">$259 million</a> in committed salaries.</p><p>It may be more beneficial for Campbell to negotiate with other teams that have more salary cap room.<br>The other factor that could impact Campbell’s next contract could be injuries to other pass rushers. If Campbell waits until training camp to sign with another team, he could get a similar salary to what he received last year if that potential employer has seen its defensive front decimated by injuries.</p><p>The Falcons had a relatively good defensive showing during the 2023 season as they allowed an average of 321.1 yards per game, and that ranked a respectable 11th in the NFL.</p><p>However, they were not as efficient in the scoring defense category as they allowed 21.9 points per game, and that ranked 18th in the league.</p><p>The Falcons made a major move in the offseason by signing free-agent quarterback Kirk Cousins to a four-year, $180 million contract. If Cousins is going to live up to his contract, it’s clear he will need help from a defense that takes the pressure off by limiting opponents offensive production.</p><p>The former Vikings quarterback did not have that kind of defense from 2020 through 2022, and Cousins regularly struggled against elite opponents.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Although <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/falcons-news-arthur-smith-reaction-brutal-desmond-ridder-interception-viral" rel="noopener">Atlanta ultimately lost</a> in Week 6 to the Washington Commanders to the tune of a 24-16 score, many others off the field got a huge win, <a href="https://twitter.com/gregauman/status/1713899532520476970" rel="noopener">thanks to a generous gesture</a> from Campbell, per Greg Auman of FOX Sports.</p><p><i>Falcons’ Calais Campbell got his 100th career sack Sunday, and celebrated by donating $100,000 to the @KidsInNeed Foundation, supporting teachers in under-resourced schools. Gives 100 teachers nationwide each $500 in school supplies and $500 to purchase classroom resources.</i></p><p>Despite the loss to the Commanders, Campbell and the Falcons’ pass rush shined on the field. Atlanta had a total of five sacks, causing Washington to lose 30 yards in the process. Campbell had a sack and also added four total tackles and two quarterback hits. At 37 years old, Campbell can still make a difference on the field and that was on display once more in Week 6.</p><p>Campbell seems to understand the importance of keeping teachers well-equipped in classrooms in order for them to efficiently serve their students. The amount he donated will go a long way.</p><h2>Falcons are having a topsy-turvy start to the season</h2><p>It has been quite an adventure this season for Campbell and the Falcons, who are now 3-3 through six weeks of the 2023 NFL regular season. Atlanta started the season with two consecutive wins but has since picked up just a win in four games. Up ahead for the Falcons is a chance to rebound when they pay Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers a visit for an intriguing NFC South division rivalry showdown.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It likely isn’t how <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-news-calais-campbell-spurned-new-york-sign-falcons" rel="noopener">the Falcons had hoped</a> Calais Campbell’s time in Atlanta would start. Fortunately, his stint on the PUP list isn’t expected to last for long.</p><p>According to multiple reports, Calais Campbell’s trip to the PUP list isn’t thought to be serious. Campbell is on the non-football injury list. The issue is <a href="https://twitter.com/TomPelissero/status/1683933584682541057?s=20">considered to be minor</a>, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, and Campbell could be ready to play soon.</p><p>The Falcons <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/falcons-news-falcons-win-calais-campbell-sweepstakes-with-one-year-contract" rel="noopener">signed Campbell in free agency</a> to a one-year, $7 million contract. The deal includes a $3 million signing bonus and $4 million guaranteed.</p><p>Entering his 16th season, Campbell’s days as a Pro Bowl pass rusher might be behind him. The veteran can still be a valuable contributor to Atlanta’s defense. Campbell had 5.5 sacks in 14 games for the Baltimore Ravens last season.</p><p>The decision to place Campbell on the PUP list <a href="https://www.atlantafalcons.com/news/mycole-pruitt-signed-tight-end-training-camp">was one of many</a> moves announced by the Falcons at the start of training camp. Atlanta also waived running back Caleb Huntley and re-signed tight end MyCole Pruitt. Huntley ran for 366 yards on 4.8 yards per carry before his 2022 campaign was cut short by an Achilles’ tendon injury. Pruitt caught four touchdown passes for the Falcons last season.</p><p>There is <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/falcons-desmond-ridder-kyle-pitts-drake-london" rel="noopener">plenty of optimism</a> surrounding the Falcons ahead of training camp. With Tom Brady leaving the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in favor of retirement, Atlanta is viewed as a real threat to win the NFC South.</p><p>Atlanta last won the division in 2016.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
