AZCardinals.com’<\/a>s Darren Urban). “I try to be respectful (answering questions), but I have to go through my process. I don’t know if I’m going to retire or not because I don’t know how my body is going to feel.<\/p>\n“Right now I feel good enough to play a football game, and that matters most because I want to be available and healthy.”<\/p>\n
Campbell would be a free agent this offseason, as he signed a one-year deal to land with the Cardinals ahead of 2025. <\/p>\n
“Fantastic. Better than I ever could have thought honestly,” Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said of coaching Campbell. <\/p>\n
“Obviously played really well this year. Captain. Leadership, pro’s-pro. Energy, juice all the time. I learned a lot from him. It’s been awesome.”<\/p>\n
Though the season has gone astray for Arizona, Campbell’s been a key presence to help maintain a positive yet critical direction of the Cardinals. <\/p>\n
“I pick players’ brains. He’s been in a lot of places. He’s had a lot of success, everything from defensive line play to how we structure a team meeting to the schedule to everything. He’s been around the block, and he’s a really good resource because of how long he’s been doing it,” Gannon continued on Campbell. <\/p>\n
“And he’s been awesome for our players, too. I know that for our younger guys, he’s been a really good resource for them.” <\/p>\n
Campbell’s not just been a key locker room voice — he’s made an impact on the field as well. He’s tallied 6.5 sacks and a handful of blocked kicks on special teams along a Cardinals defensive line that hasn’t seen consistent play across the board. <\/p>\n
The future is unknown for a handful of key faces within the Cardinals’ organization — Campbell included — though his impact in just one season back in the desert can’t be denied. <\/p>\n
“I played against him a bunch – he’s hit me a lot so it’s been good to not get hit by him,” starting quarterback Jacoby Brissett said. <\/p>\n
“Just to be around somebody like that who has played this long in the NFL and played at a high level. You see the stories of him on other teams and it’s been cool to be part of it this year from a teammate perspective. … Just a Hall of Fame guy on and off the field.” <\/p>\n
