Ravens release Calais Campbell

Anakim : 3/13/2023 12:36 pm
FYI. Wink-coached...
Didn’t he sack Eli about 15 times  
Big Blue '56 : 3/13/2023 12:37 pm : link
in one game?
He is the guy....that Sy thought was the rumor of Wink banging  
George from PA : 3/13/2023 12:38 pm : link
The table to go get.

Could be the ideal backup option for DL!
would be a good add  
Eric on Li : 3/13/2023 12:38 pm : link
can't play as many snaps as he used to but still produces. just a freak to still be a contributor.

mentioned him as a guy that Wink may really like that can "generate A-gap pressure." I believe from GoDeep13's Asshat thread.

He will play next year at age 37. But he can still play. Would not be surprised to see him in NY. Saves Ravens $7M in cap space.
That guy has had a really great career  
Andy in Halifax : 3/13/2023 12:39 pm : link
Been in the league a long time and very productive.

“ Giants are looking for players up front defensively to create depth, production and mix in well with Dexter Lawrence.

Wink Martindale knows Calais Campbell very well. Love this role for Giants, even at 37.”
I think he's going to be Giant

Won't cost much either.
Poor

Think you are getting a break and the you get CC in your face. I like this a lot for us. Make it so.

Doesn’t need to20 snaps a game would keep him very fresh
Dex and Leo too
I'd be for the signing

and then double down in the draft for someone like him.

He’d start.
He's too tall  
MNP70 : 3/13/2023 1:19 pm : link
and never misses games. Pass...
Great player and would fit this defense perfectly...  
BC Eagles94 : 3/13/2023 2:21 pm : link
but all comes down to price. Would have to think Giants will be very interested. Getting pretty old, but he still rarely misses a game and his performance hasn't started really slowing either.

Does Campbell still want to play? I mean he doesn't have to for financial reasons.

I'm guessing that if Campbell was looking to retire the Ravens would have given him that option, rather than announcing his release.

Also, I just "googled" Campbell to see how big he is. He's listed as a 6' 8" 300 DE.
Well, since some (many?) on here believe  
Big Blue '56 : 3/13/2023 4:00 pm : link
we’re not close to being SB contenders, how about simply getting younger, at least with our depth?

Why not both? We have Dex and Leo plus Davidson. Leaves room for 2 or 3 more on the DL. At least one vet and draftee. Campbell may have more than a single year left in him in a reduced specialized role. Certainly a major step up from Jelly Ellis!

Depends on cost. He’s not playing for the minimum. Put $ towards Dex?
I am ALL in on Calais  
GiantTuff1 : 3/13/2023 7:38 pm : link
One of my very favorite non Giants players for years. I would love this addition. Great veteran.

SMART
TOUGH
DEPENDABLE

37 y/o. Would get about $1.2 mill to play 20 snaps a week on an ascending team and hang out with the boys. Yeah, he'd sign for vet min or a touch over...
You only need to worry about youth  
AcesUp : 3/13/2023 8:25 pm : link
With your core. Those are your big money guys on long term deals. The rest are either draft picks or churned every 1-2 years, age doesn’t really matter there. Campbell is a perfect short term depth/rotational guy to bring in on year by year.
there are alot of teams with more cap space  
bc4life : 3/14/2023 8:15 am : link
e.g., Denver - he's from Denver. Cincinatti - this will be his last pay day.
