Calais Campbell, defensive end, Arizona Cardinals
Despite being up there in age at 30 years old, Campbell remains a highly productive player. He put up 53 tackles and eight sacks in a Pro Bowl caliber performance for Arizona this past season.
Also working to Campbell’s advantage here is the fact that he can play both defensive tackle and defensive end. This is a clear indication that he’ll receive a ton of interest on the free-agent market. At this point, it seems highly unlikely that Arizona will be able to retain Campbell after placing the franchise tag on fellow pass rusher Chandler Jones. That leaves the Cardinals out of the equation here.
Both the Washington Redskins and Jacksonville Jaguars have reportedly shown interest in the impending free agent. Of the two, Washington seems to be the best fit. He can play end in the team’s 3-4 scheme and would help offset the loss of Trent Murphy, who will be suspended for the first four games of the season due to violating the NFL’s PED policy.
Prediction: Washington Redskins
