Lions to pick up Jahmyr Gibbs' 5th-year option, not Jack Campbell's
The Detroit Lions will exercise the fifth-year contract option for running back Jahmyr Gibbs but not for linebacker Jack Campbell. Gibbs, a three-time Pro Bowler, has excelled since entering the league and will earn a fully guaranteed $14.3 million in 2027. Campbell's option was deemed too costly due to a league rule that classifies off-ball linebackers with higher-paid pass rushers.
- ▪The Detroit Lions will pick up Jahmyr Gibbs' fifth-year option but not Jack Campbell's.
- ▪Jahmyr Gibbs has made three Pro Bowls and has 49 touchdowns through his first three seasons, the most in NFL history over that span.
- ▪Gibbs will earn $14.3 million fully guaranteed in 2027, tying for the fifth-highest average annual value among running backs.
- ▪Picking up Jack Campbell's option would have cost the Lions $21.9 million under the cap due to a CBA rule grouping off-ball linebackers with pass-rushing linebackers for salary calculations.
- ▪Campbell made the Pro Bowl in 2025, which increased his fifth-year option value to the transition tender level, based on salaries of players like T.J. Watt and Josh Hines-Allen.
