Tua Tagovailoa and his Miami Dolphins aim to be contenders in the AFC East next NFL season, though, as expected, it won’t be an easy task. Especially now, with the news that a veteran player is set to leave and join the Arizona Cardinals, where he will team up with Kyler Murray.
Calais Campbell, who played as a defensive end for Mike McDaniel’s team last season, will bring all his experience to the NFC West as he joins the Arizona Cardinals, a team looking to be a key contender in the upcoming season.
The news was reported by NFL insider Ian Rapoport, who, through his X (formerly Twitter) account, shared more details about the veteran’s move to the Cardinals for the upcoming season.
“38 and still going: Standout DL and #Dolphins FA Calais Campbell is expected to with with the #AZCardinals on a 1-year deal, sources say, as the former Walter Payton Man of the Year is set for another season. 38 year old, with 17 seasons under his belt, Campbell isn’t done,” the Insider reported via @RapSheet.
Campbell returns to Arizona, the team that selected him in the 2008 draft with the 50th overall pick in the second round. He played there until 2016 before making stops with several other teams, including the Jacksonville Jaguars, Baltimore Ravens, and Atlanta Falcons, before joining the Dolphins.
Could Tyreek Hill also be on his way out of the Dolphins?
There has been much speculation in recent weeks about Tyreek Hill’s future with the franchise, a player who was heavily relied upon to help the team, but things ultimately didn’t go as expected. Regarding this situation, head coach Mike McDaniel spoke out.
“I can certainly say with certainty that at this certain moment,” McDaniel said when asked about the RB, via C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald. “We are fully planning to move forward for a better version of our relationship with Tyreek.”
“Tyreek has been in the building often,” McDaniel also added, via Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post. “Tyreek is known for some antics on social media. We’re in a good spot with Tyreek.”
While there are still no firm certainties regarding the future of the former Chiefs player, for now, according to his coach’s comments, it seems likely that he will continue to be an important piece in Tua Tagovailoa’s offense.
