A standing supply can also be in place for Calais Campbell, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald writes. It stays to be seen if Campbell will play in 2025, however he stated after the common season ended he would ponder doing so. The Dolphins inked the Hurricanes product to a one-year deal final offseason, and that signing proved to be worthwhile.
Campbell logged a 58% snap share in 2024 and he operated as a key determine alongside the D-line. The 2010s All-Decade Crew member posted 5 sacks and 12 tackles for loss, showcasing his disruptive talents towards the run and move even this deep into his profession. Campbell will flip 39 in September, however he may nonetheless present worth to Miami or an crew if he chooses to play subsequent yr.
Halfway by way of the 2024 marketing campaign, a commerce settlement was in place to ship Campbell again to the Ravens (after he performed there from 2020-22). Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel vetoed the deal, although, and Campbell helped Miami stay in postseason competition by way of to Week 18.
