Overview

  • Calais Campbell has signed a one-year, $5.5 million contract with the Arizona Cardinals, with incentives that could raise its value to $7.5 million.
  • The 38-year-old defensive lineman returns to Arizona, where he spent the first nine seasons of his NFL career after being drafted in 2008.
  • Campbell opted to join the Cardinals over returning to the Miami Dolphins, where he had a productive 2024 season with five sacks and 12 tackles for loss.
  • He is expected to play a rotational role on the Cardinals' defensive line, providing veteran leadership to a revamped unit aiming for a playoff push.
  • Campbell’s departure leaves a significant leadership void for the Dolphins, who now face challenges in addressing their defensive line depth.
