Campbell returns to Ravens on 2-year deal

Six-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman Calais Campbell is re-signing with the Baltimore Ravens on a two-year pact, he confirmed to CBS Sports' Josina Anderson.

The deal is worth $12.5 million in base value but can reach $16.5 million, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. It should give Campbell a chance to finish his career with the Ravens after spending the last two campaigns with them.

"It just felt like the right move," Campbell said. "I feel like we started something special, and we have unfinished business there."

Campbell joined Baltimore through a 2020 trade with the Jacksonville Jaguars. He's posted 77 tackles, 5.5 sacks, and 22 quarterback hits with the Ravens.

The 35-year-old broke into the NFL as a second-round pick of the Arizona Cardinals in 2008. He blossomed into one of the NFL's most versatile defensive linemen with the Cardinals, for whom he played nine seasons.

Campbell left Arizona for a lucrative contract with the Jaguars in 2017 and helped Jacksonville make a run to the AFC Championship Game. He had a career-best 14.5 sacks for the Jaguars in 2017 and registered 10.5 sacks in 2018.

The Ravens had Michael Pierce, Broderick Washington, and Justin Madubuike lined up to anchor the defensive interior before bringing back Campbell.
