The Arizona Cardinals brought back defensive lineman Calais Campbell this month on a one-year contract. Campbell, of course, began his NFL career playing nine seasons for the Cardinals before spending the last eight elsewhere. His return almost was sooner.

Calais Campbell will attempt to submit a Hall of Fame closing argument where his NFL career began, reuniting with the Cardinals last week. The decorated defensive lineman passed on Dolphins and Ravens offers to return to Arizona.

Defensive end Calais Campbell agreed to rejoin the team that drafted him on April 1. He officially signed his one-year deal on Thursday and spoke to reporters.
