This would make a lot of fans happy.
The Miami Dolphins came one game short of releasing veteran defensive tackle Calais Campbell, and now the 17-year NFL footballer will hit free agency.
Miami was rumored to be ready to release Campbell had they been eliminated from the playoffs prior to Week 18 so he could pursue a Super Bowl. That didn't happen, and when March arrives, Campbell will try to find an avenue to get a ring if he decides to play for an 18th season.
Most think the chances of Campbell returning to the Dolphins are extremely low, but that may not be the case if Chris Grier is to be believed. Speaking with the media following the season-ending elimination in Week 18, Grier was asked about Campbell potentially returning.
"I don't want to speak for him, but he's indicated that if he does decide to play that he loved his time here and we would be a very strong consideration to come back if he decides to play again, and we would welcome him back with open arms," said Grier.
The Dolphins GM stressed the importance of Campbell's leadership and what he meant to his teammates. That kind of respect is something that is earned over years of playing the game. Campbell has said that he loves helping his teammates get better and that he doesn't shy away from being a mentor.
