Bold predictions for biggest NFL free agents

Kirk Cousins is one of many NFL Free Agents who could make a big splash in 2017

5. Calais Campbell lands payday in South Florida

Calais Campbell

The Miami Dolphins are good for at least one extravagant free agency signing a year. This year, they might actually pull off one that makes them better.

Campbell will have many suitors. He’s one of the premier 3-4 defensive ends in football and could probably be just as devastating a player in a 4-3 scheme. At 6-foot-8 and roughly 300 pounds of offensive-line-wrecking fury, Campbell is going to haul in at least one more huge payday before he retires.

Since his second year in the NFL, the former second-round pick out of Miami has started 120 games, racking up no less than five sacks every season while racking up nearly 500 total tackles. He can play inside or outside in any alignment and would be a huge upgrade over recently released Mario Williams, a player Miami picked up on the decline of his career.

Campbell is still just 30 years old and appears to have plenty of gas left in his tank. He’s been extremely durable and productive throughout his career. Miami would be smart to lay out the red carpet for this veteran, who would immediately improve a defense that needs help up front.
