They&#8217;d played four uninspired games without their starting quarterback, going 1-3 after Tua Tagovailoa\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/dolphins-tua-tagovailoa-concussion-fd51cf64b07181a63c92c2c9c2885dbf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">w<\/a>ent on injured reserve\u00a0on Sept. 17 with a concussion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Campbell would have had a chance to rejoin the contending Ravens, and Miami would have received a 2026 fifth-round pick in return, NFL Network reported.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">McDaniel argued that Campbell was too valuable to lose.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8220;I was happy that they brought me into the conversations,&#8221; Campbell said after Miami&#8217;s\u00a034-15 win over the New England Patriots. &#8220;They didn&#8217;t have to say anything to me at all. We had a really good conversation about what we think about this team, where we are. We felt like we had a good shot to get back into the fight.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"artSplitter mol-img-group\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"image-wrap fff-pic\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-c3d67985362d3a10\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2024\/11\/24\/23\/wire-92439391-1732491807-566_634x422.jpg\" alt=\"Miami Dolphins defensive tackle Calais Campbell celebrates a sack during the first half of an NFL football game against the Los Angeles Rams, Monday, Nov. 11, 2024, in Inglewood, Calif.

(AP Photo\/Jayne Kamin-Oncea)<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Added McDaniel: &#8220;I think it wasn\u00b4t like it was (GM) Chris (Grier) versus me. &#8230; That\u00b4s the tricky thing about Chris\u00b4 job is he has to look long-term and short-term at the same time, what\u00b4s the best for the organization.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Campbell, a 17-year veteran, signed with the Dolphins after playing for Atlanta last season. Players and coaches have praised the 38-year-old&#8217;s contributions on the field and in the locker room.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8220;There\u00b4s no one\u00b4s game I\u00b4ve come to respect more than Calais up front on the D-line,&#8221; defensive tackle Zach Sieler said, &#8220;being with him this year and just the energy, the attitude and the mindset he brings every week. It can\u00b4t be matched, and that\u00b4s the reason why he is who he is today and doing what he\u00b4s doing at 17 years.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Campbell leads the team with four sacks. With back-to-back sacks in Weeks 10 and 11, he became the eighth player 38 or older to record sacks in consecutive games since the 1970 merger. He also has nine tackles for loss, giving him at least five tackles for loss in 15 of his 17 seasons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">He played for Baltimore from 2020-2022, totaling 11 sacks and 113 tackles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8220;I think he means a great deal to not only the defensive line room, but the entire defense as well as the entire team,&#8221; McDaniel said earlier this week. &#8220;It\u00b4s rare for a guy to get here when he did, and then be voted, with such conviction, captain. I think the way that he operates to be a pro, I think has had a substantial impact on a lot of players that hadn\u00b4t been fortunate enough to be around someone with sustained success like he\u00b4s had.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The Dolphins have won three straight games since the deadline. Miami&#8217;s defense held the Patriots scoreless until the fourth quarter on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Campbell broke down the team&#8217;s pregame huddle as he has done before most games this season. He was also seen coaching up rookie linebacker Chop Robinson, who is always seeking pointers from the six-time Pro Bowler.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8220;My job is to speak on behalf of what\u00b4s the best thing for the 2024 Dolphins,&#8221; McDaniel said. &#8220;I\u00b4m just fortunate to work in an organization where myself and the GM can be transparent and work together.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8220;And he didn\u00b4t want to see any more adult temper tantrums.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">___<\/p>\n<div class=\"artSplitter mol-img-group\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"image-wrap fff-pic\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-c1bee2066fd7259a\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2024\/11\/24\/23\/wire-92439379-1732491774-790_634x422.jpg\" alt=\"Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel gestures during a news conference following an NFL football game against the New England Patriots, Sunday, Nov. 24, 2024, in Miami Gardens, Fla.
