Dolphins lose Calais Campbell to Arizona Cardinals. Miami in tough spot on defensive line
Briefly

The Miami Dolphins faced a setback on Tuesday when defensive lineman Calais Campbell signed a one-year deal with the Arizona Cardinals instead of returning to Miami. Despite Coach Mike McDaniel's wishes to retain him, Campbell chose his original team, leaving the Dolphins with only one reliable lineman, Zach Sieler, under contract. With inadequate depth and poor performance from other linemen, Miami is likely to target defensive tackles in the upcoming draft. Options are slim in free agency, with few established players available, raising further concerns for their defensive line.
The Dolphins' outlook at defensive line worsened as Calais Campbell chose Arizona over Miami, leaving them with limited options and concerns for the upcoming season.
Despite having the cap space to match Arizona's offer, the Dolphins lost Calais Campbell, a pivotal player who contributed 52 tackles and five sacks last season.
Coach Mike McDaniel acknowledged Campbell's importance, stating, 'He was a very important player to the team last year,' before Campbell opted for his original team.
The Dolphins' current defensive line composition is weak, with only one strong player under contract, pushing them to consider drafting a starting defensive lineman.
