I would pay him a two year deal at 16 a year but I assume he gets more with at least 40 guaranteed and that is a lot for an old tackle.

Consistent pressure and being the #1 DE league-wide against the run at the same time? Yeah, who needs that. 2019 : Campbell--6.5 sacks and 25 quarterback hits Jerry Hughes--4.5 sacks, 9 quarterback hits Trent Murphy--5.0 sacks, 9 quarterback hits Edit: to put those QB hits in perspective, here are some 2019 comparables: ChandlerJones--26 Aaron Donald--24 JJ Watt--21 Yannick Ngakoue--15 Trent Murphy's good enough...

Would anyone say we woundn't be a better team in 2020 by paying that net $5 million more for Calais???... Agreed, unless we use Murphy's $9.8 M on Clowney or something similar. The other issue with Campbell as other's have eluded to...I think Baltimore are going to have to pay him for at least a new 3 year deal which is a significant cap commitment for any teams long term plan. I could be wrong. But, a 3 year deal at his price will change our long term plan which the Bills FO is currently executing very well. If Campbell plays out the one year deal its a great deal for Baltimore.

Already signed a 2-year, $27 million deal with Baltimore. $20 million guaranteed in 2020, just a $7 million hit in 2021... https://clutchpoints.com/ravens-news-calais-campbell-sign-2-year-27-million-deal-with-baltimore-after-trade-from-jaguars/ Edit: 3:37pm OK, here's a better breakdown of Campbell's new contract. The initial tweets I saw were wrong, and the Raven's are paying a whole lot more than I originally reported (making this less deal less attractive). I'd still rather have him than Trent Murphy, however... https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/baltimore-ravens/calais-campbell-3941/ Edited March 15, 2020 by Lurker 1

Rc2catch Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 I would of done this trade 100% but ya never know.. this could be one of those times Beane tried and maybe Campbell didn’t wanna play here, or only wanted to play for a couple teams he felt he would get a Super Bowl chance with. He’s at the end so maybe Jacksonville tried his favorite teams first. It’s possible with the low compensation they got. Either way he’s a raven and we’re on to the next recruit
Just Joshin' Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 I remember the name wringing last year when Ziggy was not signed. Age may catchup this year or may not. I would rather spend those $ on a younger player. Baltimore feels they are close so makes more sense. 1

Campbell-for-a-5th-in-2020 became a thing last summer for folks paying close attention to the cap and relative downward trend of the Jags. Right now, my favorite idea is pilfering RFAs from Pittsburgh; we’ll see if that comes to fruition.
eball Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 This. Sucks. Baltimore is becoming my 2nd most hated AFC rival.
CEN-CAL17 Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 Campbell was a person of interest in 2105.... anymore he’s just a seasoned vet. I would not want that contract.
