A veteran Dallas Cowboys wide receiver has decided to retire from the National Football League at 28 years old.
Parris Campbell, a veteran NFL wide receiver out of Ohio State, has played in the league since 2019. He was a second round NFL Draft pick out of Columbus, beginning his career with the Indianapolis Colts. Campbell ended up playing for the Colts, Giants, Eagles and Cowboys.
The Cowboys announced his official retirement on Wednesday.
"Parris Campbell is hanging up his cleats in 2026. The veteran wide receiver has made the decision to officially retire from the NFL, also ending his time with the Dallas Cowboys, and will be moved to the team's Reserve/Retired List. Campbell, 28, is on the younger side of the spectrum as far as NFL retirees go, but there were certainly others before him who also opted to walk away from the game while they were still in great physical and mental shape. He leaves the league less than two months ahead of his 29th birthday," the team announced.

"With the departure, the Cowboys now have two available roster spots, having previously had a vacancy on their 90-man depth chart prior to Campbell's decision."
The Cowboys have a lot of talent on offense in 2026
The Cowboys will miss Campbell, but they aren't lacking for options on the offensive side of the ball in 2026.
Dallas will be led by quarterback Dak Prescott, running back Javonte Williams and wide receivers CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens this fall.
