Miami signed veteran Shaq Barrett in March and continued to add to its pass rush via the draft, spending first- and fifth-round picks on Chop Robinson and Mo Kamara, respectively.

Campbell eclipsed 100 career sacks last season and, with 105.5, is tied with Elvis Dumervil for No. 32 on the official all-time sacks list (since 1982) and 48th on the unofficial list (since 1960).

The NFL’s Walter Payton Man of the Year award winner in 2019, Campbell has been a first-team All-Pro once and made six Pro Bowl appearances.

Campbell, who also played for the Arizona Cardinals, has appeared in 244 career games (225 starts) while making 865 tackles, 175 tackles for loss, 254 quarterback hits, 17 forced fumbles, 13 fumble recoveries, 58 passes defended and 3 interceptions.

NFL Network first reported the agreement between the Dolphins and Campbell.

But those two seasons had zero remaining guaranteed dollars in base salaries of $11.8 million in 2024 and $12 million in 2025. The extension guarantees all of that and comes with $8 million more for McCaffrey.

“Business is business, it’s part of this game,” McCaffrey said. “Both sides were mutually very respectful the whole time and just proud and happy that we got something done.”

For the Niners, retaining McCaffrey was something of a no-brainer as he quickly established himself as the focal point of one of the league’s most prolific offenses following the October 2022 trade that brought him to San Francisco. The 49ers acquired McCaffrey from the Panthers for 2023 second-, third- and fourth-round picks as well as a 2024 fifth-round selection. Since, McCaffrey has impressed teammates and coaches with his consistency, productivity and maniacal attention to detail.

McCaffrey, who turns 28 on Friday, posted 2,023 yards from scrimmage and 21 total touchdowns in 2023 and the Niners firmly believe that he has the ability to continue to play at that level for the foreseeable future, even into his 30s.

“When you look at Christian just as an individual, I’m not going to compare him to anybody else,” Shanahan said. “Christian is one of the more talented people I’ve ever met in my life, but if I didn’t speak about that, I’d say he’s almost the biggest overachiever I’ve been around in my life in terms of how obsessive he is with every little thing … You don’t picture him losing any of that because of the [age], but if that stuff does happen, Christian’s always going to be a good football player until he decides not to be. And we’re not really concerned with that at all with his type of personality.”

While McCaffrey was in Santa Clara on Tuesday, he did not participate in practice. He did a workout on the side and likely won’t participate again on Wednesday, according to Shanahan.

The Niners had more than 20 players not participating on Tuesday for various reasons, though the only two players not to report were receiver Brandon Aiyuk and left tackle Trent Williams. Williams was attending his daughter’s graduation from school and is expected to be back on Wednesday.

Aiyuk, meanwhile, is staying away as he continues to aim for a lucrative contract extension of his own. Because the minicamp is mandatory, he is subject to fines in excess of $101,000 if he doesn’t arrive over the next three days.

In the past two offseasons, defensive end Nick Bosa and wideout Deebo Samuel showed up to the minicamp but did not participate to avoid those fines as they worked out their contract issues. Aiyuk is taking a different approach, though Shanahan said that doesn’t change how he views the situation.

“Some guys come because they want to avoid a fine and some don’t, but regardless, it doesn’t change anything when those guys have come,” Shanahan said. “We know what the process is. We know what the business part is and that’s just how they decide how they want to handle this week.”

Samuel said Tuesday he’s been in regular contact with Aiyuk throughout the offseason, offering his help when needed on how to navigate the contract situation. His top piece of advice has been to preach patience.

“At the end of the day, you want to get what you deserve, and you hope it happens,” Samuel said. “But it’s not going to happen in the timely manner that you want it to happen. It’s just a waiting game and in this situation, you just let his agent communicate with them and they communicate back and it’s just the back and forth for a long time.”

Moore said he felt he needed to relay that reality to Williams.

‘Yeah, you’ve got to because our defense can get pretty rowdy, as you all know out there,” Moore said. “Just calming everybody down in the huddle and just refocusing is the best thing.”

Byard noted that the offense “kind of got after us a little bit” during the first practice of the week and came away impressed by several of Williams’ throws.

“Every week is not going to be great,” Byard said. “Some weeks we’re going to have to be on two-minute drill, he’s going to have to go win us a game. Some weeks we’re going to blow people out. Sometimes it’s not going to be like that. So I would just kind of tell him like, hey, days, like this just keep fighting, keep going, watch the film, get better. And that’s for everyone on the team. Everything is not going to be peaches and cream. You know what I’m saying? But like I like his confidence and he kind of just looked me straight in the eye and said ‘of course I will,’ and that was good to see.”

Coach Matt Eberflus emphasized the growth he saw Williams make during his first week of true practices against NFL competition.

“This is the first time going against a pro defense, and a pretty good one,” coach Matt Eberflus said. “It’s going to be learning for everybody. They’re getting everything together. It was progress. I saw progress from the first day to the second, the second to the third. So it’s good.”

Williams’ ability to process the information given to him from Bears coaches and execute it during practice has been “very impressive,” according to Eberflus. As the Bears gauge Williams’ development through the spring, easing him into the offense isn’t part of the plan.

“We’re not holding back,” Eberflus said. “We’re giving him a lot of information. We’re giving him the offense and you want to be able to go through the whole offense before the off-season gets done, primarily most of it, and work it into the summer.”
