Six-time Pro-Bowl defensive end Calais Campbell is returning to the Baltimore Ravens, agreeing to a one-year contract with the organization, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. The veteran pass rusher returns to the team where he previously spent three seasons from 2020 to 2022.
Campbell, one of the most durable and respected defensive players in the league, is entering his 19th NFL season. He is set to turn 40 years old on September 1, making him one of the oldest active defensive players in professional football. His return provides the Ravens with a massive boost to their defensive line rotation and veteran leadership in the locker room.
During his first stint in Baltimore, Campbell was a key anchor for the defense, earning a Pro Bowl selection in 2020. His familiarity with the defensive scheme and the coaching staff likely played a significant role in his decision to return to the AFC North contenders for the upcoming season.
The financial details of the one-year agreement have not yet been made public. Campbell has amassed 105.5 career sacks and 865 total tackles over his illustrious career, which has included stops with the Arizona Cardinals, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Atlanta Falcons, in addition to his previous tenure with the Ravens.
