Analyzing the terms of Dolphins DB Elijah Campbell’s new contract

Here’s what Dolphins DB Elijah Campbell’s new contract looks like.

Before this year’s free agency period even began, the Miami Dolphins kept defensive back Elijah Campbell from reaching the market himself.

Campbell, 28, agreed to a one-year deal worth $1.51 million to remain in South Florida.

According to Over the Cap, he will receive a $1.13 million base salary ($230,000 guaranteed). The contract also comes with a $125,000 signing bonus and $255,000 in per-game roster bonuses. He’ll count for $1.48 million against the cap.

This deal is not a guarantee that Campbell will be on the team when September rolls around. Miami could release the defensive back and save $1.12 million in cap space while having just a $355,000 dead cap hit.
