The Miami Dolphins have a number of players who are set to hit the market this offseason, but they’ve managed to keep one of their own before the new league year starts.
According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Dolphins are re-signing defensive back Elijah Campbell, who was set to be a restricted free agent, to a one-year deal.
Campbell, 28, was originally signed by the Cleveland Browns as an undrafted free agent in 2018 following a collegiate career that took him from Iowa Western to Northern Illinois and then to Northern Iowa.
After failing to make the roster as a rookie, he joined the Birmingham Iron of the AAF in 2019 and played for the XFL’s DC Defenders in 2020.
He had a quick stint with the New York Jets before being claimed by the Dolphins in September of 2021.
Over the past three seasons with Miami, he’s recorded 29 tackles and two passes defensed while mainly playing special teams.
