Jacksonville continues to bolster their defensive line ahead of the 2023 season
Campbell, a 5-time Pro Bowler, brings a wealth of experience to the Jaguars
The Jacksonville Jaguars have acquired defensive end Calais Campbell from the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for tight end Jacob Hollister, the team announced Tuesday. Campbell, 36, is a 5-time Pro Bowler and 2-time All-Pro selection. He has spent the last two seasons with the Ravens, recording 9.5 sacks and 25 tackles for loss in that span. The Jaguars have been looking to add depth to their defensive line, and Campbell fits the bill. He is a versatile player who can play both defensive end and defensive tackle. He is also a good run defender, which is something the Jaguars need to improve on. Hollister, 28, has spent the last two seasons with the Jaguars. He has 30 catches for 208 yards and two touchdowns in his career. The Jaguars are hoping that Campbell can help them improve their defense, which was one of the worst in the NFL last season. The Ravens are getting a young, talented tight end in Hollister. Campbell is expected to start at defensive end for the Jaguars. He will be joining a unit that includes Josh Allen, Arden Key, and Roy Robertson-Harris. The Jaguars are hoping that Campbell can help them improve their pass rush. The team had just 32 sacks last season, which was tied for the second-fewest in the NFL. Campbell is a veteran leader who can help the Jaguars both on and off the field. He is a hard worker and a good teammate. He is also a role model for younger players. The Jaguars are excited to add Campbell to their team. They believe that he can help them improve their defense and make a run at the playoffs in 2023.
