The six-time Pro Bowl defensive end is considering a return to the Baltimore Ravens.
According to the Miami Herald’s Barry Jackson, six-time Pro Bowler Calais Campbell is considering a return to Baltimore as he mulls over his career.
“Campbell, a free agent defensive lineman, is mulling whether he wants to sign with the Dolphins, Baltimore Ravens or another team,” Jackson wrote. “Retirement isn’t out of the question, either.”
On Monday, Miami Dolphins Head Coach spoke on Campbell’s being a free agent.
“Calais, specifically, is in a unique situation where he’s assessing multiple options as a player in the 45th year of his career,” McDaniel said. “There’s a lot in play in that, in regard to, your play is high, you’re excited to play another year. He’s assessing those options, and he was a very important player to the team last year. I see him having the opportunity to be a very important player on the team this year.”
Campbell, who turns 39 in September, would be playing his 18th season in the NFL if he returns. He leads all active players for games started (242).
The Ravens have a need at defensive line and more importantly need veteran depth at a position which stands rather young outside of defensive end Brent Urban after Michael Pierce announced his retirement on March 12.
Campbell has accomplished nearly everything in his career outside of winning a Super Bowl. With the Ravens in position to contend for the championship once more, the Ravens may be enticing enough to reunite once more.
