Sources - Baltimore Ravens re-sign DE Calais Campbell to 2-year, $12.5M contract
OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Pro Bowl defensive end Calais Campbell is returning to the Baltimore Ravens on a two-year deal, the team announced Saturday.
Campbell's contract is worth $12.5 million but could be as much as $16.5 million with incentives, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Campbell, 35, decided to return for his 15th NFL season after briefly contemplating retirement, saying he still has a desire to play after watching the Los Angeles Rams celebrate their championship. Now, he will get to finish his career in Baltimore after spending the past two seasons there and try to get that elusive Super Bowl ring.
Over the past two days, the Ravens addressed two areas of need while bolstering their leadership on defense, bringing back middle linebacker Josh Bynes on Friday and then keeping Campbell on Saturday.
Ravens Lamar Jackson and Tony Jefferson II took to Twitter to share their reactions to Campbell's return.
