Jets Will Entertain Free Agent Defensive Lineman

Calais Campbell, a 15-year NFL veteran, reportedly meeting with Gang Green

Florham Park is apparently a scheduled stop on Calais Campbell’s free agent tour.

The veteran defensive lineman has already visited the Atlanta Falcons and Jacksonville Jaguars with a pair of AFC East sit-downs lined up in the week ahead, according to Tiffany Blackmon from 92.9 The Game in Atlanta.

Blackmon reported that Campbell, a six-time Pro Bowl selection, will soon meet with the New York Jets and the Buffalo Bills.

A source told me that Calais Campbell’s visit with the Falcons on Wednesday went really well… also met with the Jags last week and has visits set up with the Jets and Bills this coming week. @929TheGame

The 36-year old Campbell played the last three seasons in Baltimore, but was cut by the Ravens earlier this month. Campbell, who inked a two-year, $12.5 million deal prior to the 2022 campaign, is looking to sign with a team for what will be his 16th NFL season.

Although aging, Campbell could help offset the Jets’ loss of defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins. He started all 14 of his appearances for the Ravens in 2022, finishing with 36 combined tackles, 5.5 sacks, 14 quarterback hits.

The 6-foot-8 veteran has made 227 appearances (208 starts) since being drafted into the NFL by the Arizona Cardinals at No. 50 overall in 2008. Campbell has recorded 99.0 career sacks.
