Cowboys sign former Ohio State 2nd-round WR to new contract image

Dallas Cowboys fans would be forgiven for forgetting that Parris Campbell was on their team in 2025.

But the former Ohio State star isn't going anywhere yet, so maybe he'll eventually make himself more conspicuous.

On Tuesday, the Cowboys signed Campbell to a reserve/futures contract, meaning he gets to stick with the organization into the offseason. The move came across the NFL's official transactions wire.

Campbell got into only one game with the Cowboys this season, and the wide receiver wasn't targeted.

He previously played for the Eagles in 2024, the Giants in 2023 and the Colts for his first four NFL seasons.

Indianapolis had chosen him No. 59 overall in the 2019 NFL Draft.

His best season was 2022, his final year in Indy, when he had 63 catches for 623 yards and three touchdowns.

Campbell had 20 catches in 2023 with the Giants.

In 2024 with the Eagles, Campbell played in five games and had six catches for 30 yards and a TD. He did get a Super Bowl ring out of that campaign.

Campbell had actually been released by the Cowboys in August before this season, then brought back to the practice squad in September and elevated for his lone game in October.

Now, the Cowboys will at least keep an eye on the 28-year old WR heading into the offseason.
