Dolphins Block Ravens’ Bid to Trade for Calais Campbell

Miami Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel stopped a trade that would have sent veteran defensive tackle Calais Campbell back to the Baltimore Ravens.

The Baltimore Ravens sought to reacquire defensive tackle Calais Campbell before the November 5 trade deadline, offering the Dolphins a 2026 fifth-round draft pick.
Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel opposed the trade, emphasizing Campbell's leadership and impact on the team, even describing his reaction as an 'adult temper tantrum.'
At the time of the trade discussions, the Dolphins were 2-6, but McDaniel and Campbell believed in the team's potential for a turnaround.
Since the trade deadline, the Dolphins have won three consecutive games, improving to 5-6 and re-entering the AFC playoff race.
The 38-year-old Campbell has been pivotal for Miami, recording four sacks and nine tackles for loss this season while providing critical leadership in the locker room.
