Arizona Cardinals general manager Rod Graves made it clear that defensive end Calais Campbell won’t be going anywhere this offseason. He plans on making sure he stays around for a long time.
“Calais will be with us, rest assured,” Graves said. “We will continue to focus on getting a long term deal in place and it’s a process. But he will be an Arizona Cardinals player this year and we are hoping certainly to extend that to a long-term deal. Conversations are continuing with his agent.”
The Cardinals have until March 5th to work out a new deal with Campbell. If they can’t get one done by then, they’ll likely place the franchise tag on him in order to buy themselves more time to lock him up with a long-term deal.
