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.
