Lions pick up Jahmyr Gibbs' 5th-year option and decline option for Jack Campbell, AP source says
The Detroit Lions have picked up the fifth-year option on Pro Bowl running back Jahmyr Gibbs' contract while declining the option for All-Pro linebacker Jack Campbell, according to an AP source. Gibbs, a key offensive performer since being drafted in 2023, will earn $14.29 million in 2027. Campbell, who had a standout 2025 season, will need a new contract to remain with the team. Both players were first-round picks and have contributed to the Lions' recent success, including two division titles and a conference championship appearance.
