Ravens linked to potential blockbuster reunion with defensive star.
The Baltimore Ravens’ defense is already formidable, but the possibility of bringing back Calais Campbell could make them even more dangerous. The Miami Herald reports that the Dolphins are expected to release Campbell if they miss the playoffs, and Baltimore is seen as a natural fit. Campbell, 38, played for the Ravens from 2020 to 2022 and has continued to perform at a high level in Miami this season, recording 46 tackles, four sacks, and five deflections.
Earlier this season, the Ravens tried to trade for Campbell, but Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel convinced him to stay. With Miami’s playoff hopes dwindling, Campbell could soon be available, and Baltimore’s front office should be ready to pursue him again.
Campbell’s departure from Baltimore in 2022 was purely a financial decision, not a reflection of his performance or leadership. Two years later, he remains a force in the trenches and would complement stars like Nnamdi Madubuike and Travis Jones on the Ravens’ defensive line. Beyond his physical impact, Campbell’s leadership and experience would be invaluable for a team aiming for a deep playoff run, especially since he is already familiar with Baltimore’s culture and expectations.
While the Ravens face competition from teams like the Kansas City Chiefs, Detroit Lions, and Minnesota Vikings, Baltimore holds a unique advantage: familiarity. Campbell’s established ties to the Ravens could make Baltimore his preferred destination. With Miami’s playoff fate hanging in the balance, the Ravens need to act fast if they want to add a future Hall of Famer to bolster their Super Bowl hopes. A reunion with Campbell could be the X-factor that pushes Baltimore over the top.
