Calais Campbell appreciation post

[phillycard]

Saw him on NFL Network. He'll always remain one of my favorite all-time Cards and is still one of the few ex-players I still pull for. He's at 100 sacks and I just wanted to give him his props. Quite an accomplishment

One of the all time greats for the team since I became a fan in the early 2000s.

Incredible longevity, that's for sure.

Class act. Wish we would have re-signed him instead of letting him walk.

It was either CC or Chandler Jones and Keim picked Chandler.

My favorite memory of him was, as a rookie trying to calm Anquan Boldin on the sidelines of the NFC Championship game.

Not entirely true. We did offer him but was a few million per season less than the market because Keim thought he had Nkemdiche to replace him. We also could’ve not signed washed Antoine Bethea that off-season and matched the Jacksonville offer.

Note we had Budda and Honey Badger on the roster yet still signed Bethea. Obviously another blaring Keim gaffe not just due to Calais’ production but as a locker room and community presence.

Calais has an outside chance to make the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He'll have writers from Arizona, Baltimore, Jacksonville, and Atlanta singing his praises when his name comes up.

Also, according to OTC, my man has made $142 million in his career.
