Wide receiver Parris Campbell retires from NFL at age 28

Parris Campbell is retiring from the NFL before the 2026 season. The 28-year-old wide receiver was placed on the reserve/retired list by the Dallas Cowboys, according to the team's official website. Campbell played college football at Ohio State, where he won a College Football Playoff national championship in 2015 and earned First Team All-Big Ten honors in 2018 after recording 90 receptions for 1,063 yards and 12 touchdowns.

He was selected in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft. Multiple injuries limited him to 15 games over his first three professional seasons.

Career highlights Campbell appeared in all 17 games for one team in 2022, catching a career-high 63 passes for 623 yards and three touchdowns. He later signed a one-year, $4.7 million contract with another team for the 2023 season, finishing with 20 receptions for 104 yards in 12 games.

In December 2023, Campbell told The Post's Ryan Dunleavy that limited playing time was difficult but part of the business. "It's not easy, but it's the nature of the business," Campbell said. "The cliché thing to say is, 'You know what you're getting when you sign up,' which is true.

" Campbell joined a third team for the 2024 season, recording six receptions and winning a Super Bowl ring. He signed a reserve/future contract with the Cowboys in January before retiring.
