I had a dream that we signed Campbell. No word on how much, though

I would be so stoked if we signed him. We'd instantly be a top 5 run defense again

I could get behind this...Ware's 9mm converted into Campbell's 13mm...seems fine, tbh.

I forgot he was a good pass rusher.

Give that man his money.

Without an agent, FA OT Russell Okung can’t be contacted by #Panthers until FA begins. But Carolina players are actively recruiting him now

As an addendum to the Campbell talks, I found this today. I'm not sure how much to trust Rotoworld, but this is a handy reference guide to free agents and what contracts they might get. Campbell is listed as $12-15 million per year, FWIW:

Two years ago he was arguably the best defensive lineman in football.

Denver needs a DT more than they need Campbell.

DE is just as bad as NT and I'm sure Campbell will play more snaps than any NT we could sign

i'm not so sure about that. . . sly held up just fine in '15, when he had malik and vance walker playing opposite wolf. . . also, BH is right that a guy like campbell would play inside in the nickel, while a nosetackle goes to the bench whenever we play sub-packages. . . i'd be fine spending the money on calais, and signing a cheaper vet to compete with peko at NT. . .

Eagles were linked to Torrey Smith prior to the trade deadline, but a deal did not materialize. So keep an eye on them.

Yeah...but 12-14 mil a year for a 31 year old? Just too rich for me at his age.

I understand it would be a risk, but he takes good care of himself.

I agree...and I think the value would be there for at least a year or two...but how long of a deal is it, and how much is guaranteed? If it's a reasonable deal, then I'm good with it.
At the end of the day, I really just see a team like SF or Oakland giving him the house. And they can both afford to.

Broncos, Tampa Bay are teams hot on DT/DE Chris Baker, per source. Jacksonville in play for DL Calais Campbell. #9sports
