3. S Ibraheim Campbell
With Josh Jones‘ future appearing to be murky, the potential for a return for safety Ibraheim Campbell becomes even more likely. In fact, I fully expect the Packers to bring back Campbell on a one-year deal later this offseason, the only caveat being whether he passes a physical. Campbell is currently recovering from a torn ACL suffered late last season.
In his limited work for the Packers, Campbell showed encouraging signs of being a potential future contributor. Appearing in three games for Green Bay last season, he logged 18 total tackles (one for loss) while playing nearly 20-percent of his snaps as an in-box safety. He was claimed off waivers after the Cleveland Browns released him in late November.
For what it’s worth, Campbell garnered a Pro Football Focus grade of 85.0 (subscription required), but did not qualify to be ranked due to insufficient number of snaps played. He would have been the Packers’ highest-graded safety had he qualified.
If the Packers re-signed him, Campbell wouldn’t have to be a starter, which is ideal given his skill-set. That said, he’d be a reliable dime-back or backup safety at a position the Packers lack serviceable depth. A one-year contract for roughly $1 million would be a reasonable price-point for Campbell’s services.
