As previously reported, the Baltimore Ravens pulled off a trade with the Jacksonville Jaguars for defensive end Calais Campbell. The Ravens finally announced the terms of the trade, noting the fifth-round pick they gave up for Campbell was the one they received from the Atlanta Falcons in return for tight end Hayden Hurst. Baltimore also announced a one-year extension for Campbell, which will keep him under contract with the Ravens through the 2021 season.
While the exact terms of Campbell’s contract extension weren’t revealed, Baltimore likely arranged it to give them a little more breathing room on their 2020 salary cap. Before extending Campbell, the Ravens had just $5.26 million available, $5,260,779.
Campbell will help Baltimore with their interior pass rush, hopefully freeing up outside linebacker Matthew Judon to get more pressures and sacks. Last season for the Jaguars, Campbell posted 6.5 sacks, 25 quarterback hits, 33 total quarterback pressures, and 10 tackles for a loss. Over the last four years, Campbell has accounted for 39.5 sacks and has found the end zone three times returning fumble recoveries.
