The Arizona Cardinals agreed to a one-year deal with Calais Campbell, who played for the team from 2008-16, and continued the defensive line overhaul.

Campbell played nine seasons for the Cardinals and left in free agency eight years ago. He returns on a one-year deal.

The Miami Dolphins are losing Calais Campbell to the Arizona Cardinals. This creates a major void both on the field and in the area of team leadership.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Cardinals have agreed to a deal with defensive lineman Calais Campbell. The Cardinals drafted Campbell in the second round back in 2008. He spent the next nine seasons in Arizona. He became a star during those nine years, racking up 501 total tackles and 56.5 sacks while earning All-Pro honors twice.

Veteran Calais Campbell agreed on Tuesday to return to the Valley on a one-year deal with the Arizona Cardinals.

The Arizona Cardinals could go a number of ways with their first-round pick in the 2025 NFL draft. Based on where they sit with the 16th overall pick, prospects that fit in terms of projection include defensive linemen, edge rushers, offensive linemen, linebackers and even receivers.

Campbell, 38, was exceptional for Miami last season, producing 52 tackles (including 12 for loss) and five sacks while helping the Dolphins finish ninth in the league in rushing yards allowed. Pro Football Focus rated him the sixth-best defensive lineman in the league in terms of 2024 performance.

A former favorite for Arizona Cardinals fans is returning to the Valley. The team officials announced on Tuesday that they’re bringing back six-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman Calais Campbell.
