I understand he was 31 but the dude is playing elite football why on earth would the cardinals, who appeared to be in win now mode, let him get away?

I was about to say I had no idea.  Then I remembered that video that showed Campbell in the free agency process, and the Cardinals decided they couldn't match the deals we and Denver were offering. 

They seemed to have a really low offer.

I had my doubts about him producing at this level, but I'm thrilled they let him go, and I'm thrilled he's here.

If I recall correctly, Campbell has played most of his career in a 3-4, but he is having the most productive year of his career in a 4-3.  I wonder if the front is helping make him more productive.

If so, what could he have done sack wise in a 4-3 over the years?

Possibly. He is an anomaly for his body type and height. Not really fast but fast enough. Has length and elite strength. He also is a technical monster. It may have been defensive coordinators just didn’t know how to use him. He has been more of the set the edge guy. It could have simply been changing the scheme to make him this productive sack wise. 

Now I will say he has always been tops in the league when it comes to creating pressure. There’s some article out there that shows him being top 5 I think when it comes to just creating pressure on the qb. So I guess he was creating havoc just not getting the sacks. He sure is a shining star now.
