Falcons Signing DL Calais Campbell To One-Year Deal

According to Ian Rapoport, veteran DL Calais Campbell intends to sign a one-year deal with the Atlanta Falcons.

There was a ton of interest in Campbell, with several teams looking to add him following his release by the Ravens earlier this offseason. 

It appears the Falcons made the best recruiting pitch, however.

Campbell, 36, is a former second-round pick of the Cardinals back in 2008. He spent nine years in Arizona before signing a four-year, $60 million contract that included $30 million guaranteed with the Jaguars for the 2017 season.

The Jaguars traded Campbell to the Ravens, who later signed him to a two-year deal worth $27 million total with $20 million guaranteed.

Campbell was undecided on returning for the 2022 season and wound up signing a two-year, $12.5 million deal with the Ravens in April of 2022.

However, the Ravens released him after one season. 

In 2022, Campbell appeared in 14 games for the Ravens and recorded 36 tackles, 5.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles.
