Late for Work: Calais Campbell Reportedly Mulling Return to Ravens But Has 'Multiple Options'

### **Calais Campbell Reportedly Mulling Return to Ravens, But Has 'Multiple Options'**

Calais Campbell is again being linked to the Ravens.

It was reported last November that the Ravens were set to acquire the six-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle from Miami at the trade deadline, but Dolphins Head Coach Mike McDaniel nixed the deal.

Now the Ravens are reportedly one of the teams pursuing Campbell in free agency.

Campbell is mulling whether he wants to sign with the Ravens, Dolphins, or another team, [according to the Miami Herald’s Barry Jackson,](https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/nfl/miami-dolphins/article303079784.html) who noted that retirement is also a possibility.

McDaniel acknowledged at the NFL owners meetings Monday that Campbell, who turns 39 in September, is "assessing multiple options."

Campbell, who played three seasons in Baltimore (2020-2022), has continued to perform at a high level. He had five sacks last season and 6.5 the year before in Atlanta. Campbell was Pro Football Focus' seventh-highest graded interior defender last season.

He also has been durable, playing in all 17 games the past two seasons and never appearing in fewer than 12 games in a season throughout his 17-year career.

The retirement of nose tackle Michael Pierce this offseason has created a void on the defensive line and defensive end Brent Urban is still a free agent, which Head Coach John Harbaugh spoke about at the owners meetings.

"We have to make sure we have a good solid defensive line," Harbaugh said. "The good news is the draft is really deep there, and there's also some options. We can bring some guys back. I like our guys, too, that we can bring back."
