The big news for the Arizona Cardinals and the NFL on Tuesday was the announcement that veteran defensive lineman Calais Campbell agreed to a one-year contract to return to Arizona and play for the team that drafted him. Campbell revealed why he chose to come back to the Cardinals eight years after he left in free agency.

Calais Campbell is back for at least one more season -- his 18th in the league. The 38-year-old defensive lineman is signing a one-year deal with the Arizona Cardinals, the team announced on its website. It's a one-year deal worth $5.5 million, according to ESPN, and can pay as much as $7.5 million with incentives.

The Cardinals, with the coup of signing Calais Campbell and all of the buzz that comes with it, just took a giant step forward toward meeting their highest 2025 aspirations. This signing, imo, elevated Monti Ossenfort’s cooking from simmering to a full boil. Keep cranking up the temperature, Monti! Rise Up Red Sea, indeed!
