Washington to pursue Cardinals' Calais Campbell in free agency
Washington is "likely" to pursue Arizona Cardinals defensive end Calais Campbell, ESPN's John Keim reports.
The match makes sense. Campbell is one of the most impactful defensive lineman available while Washington needs to add playmakers to their front seven. There will be plenty of other teams interested if Campbell hits the open market, however, and Keim questions whether the Redskins are willing to get involved in a bidding war for a 30-year-old. Campbell has also been linked with the Denver Broncos.
The Cardinals posted the sixth-best Adjusted Defensive Net Expected Points (NEP) per play this year. Washington was sixth-worst in this metric, and Campbell would bring a massive improvement to their ninth-worst Adjusted Defensive Rushing NEP per play.
