Parris Campbell is calling it a career.
The 28-year-old wide receiver has decided to retire from the NFL before the 2026 season, according to the Cowboys’ official website.
The team has officially placed him on the reserve/retired list.
Campbell, an Akron, Ohio, native, had a prolific career at Ohio State that saw him win a College Football Playoff national championship in 2015 and earn First Team All-Big Ten honors during the 2018 campaign when he grabbed 90 passes for 1,063 yards with a conference-leading 12 touchdowns.
That monster senior season led him to be selected in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft by the Colts.
Multiple injuries — including a torn MCL and PCL in Week 2 of the 2020 campaign — limited him to just 15 games across his first three seasons as a pro. But he played in all 17 contests for Indianapolis in 2022, hauling in a career-best 63 passes for 623 yards and three touchdowns.
Campbell signed a one-year, $4.7 million contract with the Giants for the 2023 season following his breakout, but recorded just 20 catches for 104 receiving yards in limited playing time over 12 games (three starts).
He opened up to The Post’s Ryan Dunleavy in December of that season about his diminished role.
“It’s not easy, but it’s the nature of the business,” Campbell told The Post. “The cliché thing to say is, ‘You know what you’re getting when you sign up,’ which is true. But there’s always things you never thought you’d be doing — and being inactive and not playing is definitely something I never thought would be happening.”
Campbell joined the rival Eagles for 2024, and though he finished the year with just six catches, he did get a ring when the Eagles thumped the Chiefs in Super Bowl 2025.
His tour through the NFC East continued last season when he joined the Cowboys, though he suited up in just one game. Campbell signed a reserve/future contract with Dallas in January, but he’ll instead end his career.
