Mission accomplished.
The team announced late Thursday that they and Campbell have agreed to a five-year deal that will keep the emerging star in the Valley through 2016.
Campbell, 25, is coming off a career year in which he tallied 8 sacks and 72 tackles, as well as blocked three field goals.
A third-round pick in the 2008 NFL Draft, Campbell has started 46 games for the Cardinals and recorded 215 tackles, 21 sacks, four forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and one interception.
The team had placed the "non-exclusive" franchise tag on Campbell on March 2, a move that would have kept in Arizona if a deal could not be struck, but said all along the goal was to ensure the former Miami Hurricane was a Cardinal for the foreseeable future.
