Parris Campbell has officially retired from the NFL, and the Dallas Cowboys will move him to the Reserve/Retired List after a decision that leaves the team with two available roster spots. Campbell, who is 28, is leaving the league less than two months before his 29th birthday.
The move closes the book on a brief but well-traveled career that began when the Indianapolis Colts picked him in the second round in 2019. Campbell spent four seasons with Indianapolis before signing with the New York Giants in 2023, then played one year with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2024 and ended that season with a Super Bowl ring.
Campbell signed with Dallas in 2025 and was later added on a futures/reserves deal in January, but he will not report as the Cowboys prepare for the spring. His retirement comes just ahead of voluntary OTAs in June, a timing that gives Dallas a little more roster flexibility but also removes a player who had already cycled through several teams in a short span.
The Cowboys already had a vacancy on their 90-man depth chart before Campbell’s decision, so the retirement only adds to the openings they can use as offseason work continues. For Campbell, it ends a career that moved from Indianapolis to New York, then Philadelphia and Dallas, before reaching a sudden finish in 2026.
