10. Calais Campbell, defensive end, Arizona Cardinals
Campbell just finished out a five-year contract that paid him $15.25 million in 2016. Even though he is 30 years old, the two-time Pro Bowler put up some incredible stats this past season. Starting in all 16 games, Campbell recorded one interception, two forced fumbles and managed three fumble recoveries in which one was returned for a touchdown.
He also had eight sacks and tallied 53 combined tackles and one safety. Campbell’s accomplishments were grand enough that he was rated the No. 2 defensive lineman by Pro Football Focus for 2016.
What this all equates to is a nice, fat paycheck for Campbell in 2017. If the Cardinals don’t want to re-sign Campbell, it is of public opinion that several other teams will reach out.
It should be an interesting next couple of months to see what moves and shakes for Campbell.
