The Baltimore Ravens have a number of talented players scheduled to hit free agency in just a few weeks. One of those is defensive lineman Calais Campbell, who has been a key part of Baltimore’s defense ever since coming to the organization two years ago.
On Saturday, former Baltimore Raven and current Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Yannick Ngakoue began his Twitter recruitment to his old friend in Campbell, tagging him in the tweet and saying that he believes the veteran should join him on the “dark side”, putting an eye emoji at the end of his message.
Time to get @CalaisCampbell over here to the dark side 👁

Ngakoue and Campbell go back to their days in Jacksonville, where the duo was a force to be reckoned with. Campbell was traded to Baltimore in March of 2020, and Ngakoue was traded to the Minnesota Vikings that same offseason. However, in October of 2020 the Vikings traded Ngakoue to the Ravens, where he and Campbell were able to team up once again.
The fit for Ngakoue in Baltimore didn’t quite work out, and he left for the Raiders in free agency just a few months later after an underwhelming stint with the Ravens. Now, he wants his old running mate to join him for the third time in their respective careers, this time on the west coast.
