Lions to pick up Jahmyr Gibbs' 5th-year option, not Jack Campbell's

The Detroit Lions plan to pick up the fifth-year option of Jahmyr Gibbs but won't be doing the same for linebacker Jack Campbell, a league source confirmed to The Detroit News. Gibbs will be due $14. 3 million fully guaranteed in 2027, tying him for the fifth-most expensive running back in the league, based on average annual contract value.

Gibbs, 24, has made three Pro Bowls in as many seasons. He has more touchdowns (49) than any player in NFL history through three seasons, passing Lions great Barry Sanders for that distinction late in the 2025 season. His 5,029 scrimmage yards are the eighth-most by a player before their 24th birthday.

Detroit was set to incur a $21. 9 million cap hit by picking up Campbell's option, which would immediately have made him the highest-paid off-ball linebacker in the league. Campbell is coming off an All-Pro season, which shot the price of his fifth-year option up from $15.
