Former Dolphins All-Pro Defensive Lineman Suddenly Announces Retirement Plan
@Source: newsweek.com
It appears the end is near for Calais Campbell in his legendary NFL career.The veteran defensive lineman, who spent the 2024 season with the Miami Dolphins, signed a one-year deal with the Arizona Cardinals this offseason. This will be his 17th season in the NFL.And after spending most of those years with the Cardinals, he announced that this return season will likely be his last."I'd be very surprised if it wasn't," Campbell said of this upcoming season, per team senior writer Darren Urban.This will be Campbell's 18th season, and he has made a case to potentially be a Hall of Famer. He is a six-time Pro Bowler, two-time Second Team All-Pro, one-time First-Team All-Pro and member of the Hall of Fame All-2010s Team.Campbell will be 39 soon, and it is rare to see a defensive player play into their 40s. Campbell has 110.5 career sacks and is the active leader in games played with 242. Even though he is no longer in his prime, he was a productive player for the Dolphins last season.He had five sacks, five passes defended, a forced fumble and 52 tackles. He also played in all 17 games, which is impressive given his age.He was a second-round pick by the Cardinals in 2008, and now will likely finish his career there. He played nine seasons with the Cardinals before joining the Jacksonville Jaguars.In his first season with the Jaguars, he was an All-Pro and helped lead them to the AFC Championship Game. He stayed with the Jaguars until 2019. He then spent three seasons with the Baltimore Ravens before spending a year with both the Atlanta Falcons and the Dolphins.More NFL: Eagles' Landon Dickerson Goes Viral After Post-Surgery Moment
