Adam Schefter of ESPN reports, and PFT has confirmed, that Campbell has agreed to terms with the Bengals. It’s a one-year deal.
Per a source with knowledge of the situation, the decision came down to Campbell and Ryan Fitzpatrick, who once was a backup in Cincinnati to Carson Palmer. In 2008, Fitzpatrick started 12 games while Palmer was hurt.
Campbell will provide a veteran presence on the Bengals in a clear backup role, without Campbell threatening to take Andy Dalton’s job. And it will give Andy Dalton the support he needs as he tries to find a way not to just get to the playoffs but to win a playoff game.
A first-round pick in 2005, Campbell has played for the Redskins, Raiders, Bears, and Browns.
