Lions Pick up Jahmyr Gibbs' 5th-Year Option and Decline Option for Jack Campbell, AP Source Says

Jahmyr Gibbs will make $14.29 million in 2027 after the Lions kept his option, while Jack Campbell must reach a new deal.

  • On Tuesday, the Detroit Lions exercised the fifth-year option for Pro Bowl running back Jahmyr Gibbs while declining All-Pro linebacker Jack Campbell's fifth-year option, according to a person familiar with the moves.
  • Since being drafted in the first round in 2023, both players helped the franchise win 36 games and secure two NFC North titles, establishing themselves as cornerstone contributors.
  • Gibbs has earned Pro Bowl honors each season and is one of four players to gain at least 4,500 yards and 45 touchdowns through three seasons; Campbell recorded 150-plus tackles, five sacks, and three forced fumbles last season.
  • Following the decisions, Gibbs will make $14.29 million in 2027, while the Lions must negotiate a new contract with Campbell to retain the linebacker on the roster.
  • The Lions will lean on both players as they attempt to bounce back from a 9-8 season that fell short of the playoffs and expectations.
