Agent issue puts Campbell contract on hold

Right now, defensive tackle Calais Campbell is scheduled to enter the last year of his contract with a $9.5 million salary and a salary cap hit of $15.25M. Both are sizable numbers that would seem to be open for a contract extension to lessen such a burden.

As of now, the Cardinals have not broached that subject with Campbell. They might not. But they couldn't even if they wanted to.

"I don't have an agent yet," Campbell said.

Campbell's agent had been Ben Dogra. Dogra, after an investigation, was in January suspended by the NFLPA for three years. Dogra can represent players while he appeals, but Campbell believes it makes sense to make a switch so nothing could mess up upcoming negotiations. Campbell has been meeting with agents and thinks he is close to a decision. The Cardinals have asked Campbell who his agent is -- he just doesn't have an answer quite yet.

"Once I figure out what I want to do and tell (the team) things will probably move along," Campbell said. "I haven't really given them the chance, which kind of sucks. I feel bad. But it's the way things have fallen together."
